Question papers and answer scripts would be sent via WhatsApp
A few districts are set to conduct unit tests for Class 12 students of government schools from Monday. These students have been waiting to take the board exams, which were supposed to be held in May but were postponed due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the State. “The question papers have been prepared by the subject teachers, and they will be administered to the students through WhatsApp groups. The students are required to send in the answer scripts through WhatsApp, and we will evaluate them,” a teacher said. Students will take the tests for one-and-a-half hours, and will be graded out of 50 marks. Noting that they had received instructions from the education officials in their respective districts to conduct the tests, K.P.O Suresh, president, Tamil Nadu Post Graduate Teachers’ Association, said this would serve as a revision for students waiting to take the exam. “We are, however, unsure how many students would be able to take these tests. We hope we can help them with revision later on,” he said.More Related News
