The Hindu
Many have argued that this may trigger a third COVID-19 wave, she warns.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wrote to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank on Monday, cautioning the government on conducting regular offline Board exams for class 12 students. Ms. Vadra warned that many had argued that this may trigger a third wave and there would be human, emotional and psychological cost of holding examination at a time when children were already under immense pressure. Though some had suggested fully vaccinating students and teachers before holding the exams, Ms Vadra argued that it was too late now for the current batch, and it could be the template for the batch appearing for Board exams next year.More Related News
