Will Conduct 10 And 12 Board Exams: Andhra CM

AmaravatiAndhra Pradesh chief minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy on Wednesday announced that the state will conduct the class 10 and 12 board examinations this year amidst the second covid-19 wave. Recently, several states had taken the decision to either postpone or cancel the board examinations keeping the student's safety in view. The Andhra Pradesh CM clarified that the government took the decision to conduct the board examination to ensure that the students have a better future. 

“As only pass certificates would be issued by the states which have not conducted the exams, how will our students get admission in good institutions on the basis of a pass certificate alone,” he queried. "SSC and Inter examinations are very important to the students as their future depends on those certificates. The state government will ensure the safety of every student in the state," the chief minister was quoted in the statement.

Pointing out that the central government has left it to the state governments to decide whether or not to conduct board examination in the contemporary scenario, CM Reddy noted that examinations are underway in some states following strict measures, a statement issued by the government said.

The chief minister's unequivocal stand comes in the face of a strident campaign by the opposition, especially the TDP, demanding cancellation of the public exams in view of the pandemic. The chief minister attacked the opposition for their criticism on conducting 10th and Inter examinations. Trying to degrade the government even in times of disaster, is not good, he said.
