Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty on Friday said the state will implement the Supreme Court's interim order which stayed the Kerala government's decision to hold offline exams for Class 11 from September 6, amid rising cases of COVID-19 cases in the state. "Supreme Court has asked us to submit the statement of facts of scientific preparations to conduct examination and on what background the decision to conduct examination has been taken. The Education Department will submit the reports before September 13," he said. The minister said 4,22,000 students have written the Kerala Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examination and 4.5 lakh students have written the higher secondary examinations successfully. "There were no lapses in conducting the examinations and on the basis of that experience, we had decided to conduct Class 11 examination," he said. "The students who appeared for examination were in good confidence and with the support of the students and parents, we had decided to conduct the examination," he added.More Related News
