Despite Edu minister's directive, BOSE indecisive about exams 9/19/2016 11:26:23 PM Ishtiyaq Ahmad Early Times Report Srinagar, Sept 19: Though Education Minister Naeem Ahktar has directed the Board of School Education (BOSE) to conduct board examinations on time in Kashmir division, the board seems to be unclear about how to hold the exams particularly of Class X and XII. The minister has directed the BOSE to set in motion its men and machinery to prepare the ground for smooth conduct of all coming Board examinations including of 10th and 12th standard. An official in the Education department told Early Times that the board has not been able to decide about the annual exams. He admitted that it is a challenging situation for the department. "If they will curtail the syllabus of Class XII, how will the students having completed only 50 per cent of their syllabus, appear in competitive exams next year? Sources said that despite several meetings between the government and the stakeholders, they have so far failed to reopen the schools. The annual board exams in the Valley normally start in October. An educationist told Early Times that the better option for the government was to defer the exams as the students has not completed their syllabus. "It would be better if the exams are delayed as the students must complete the whole syllabus otherwise they won't be able to pass competitive exams. But it can only be done once everything returns to normal in Kashmir," he said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
