The Centre will hold a high-level virtual meeting to discuss the school board and professional course entrance examinations on Sunday.
In a tweet, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said that he will attend the meeting along with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani and Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar and Minister of State for Education Sanjay Dhotre.
The government is likely to take a call on the exams at the meeting, which will also be attended by state education ministers and secretaries. The government is also expected to discuss the CBSE’s proposal for conducting board exams.
The Delhi government is not in favour of the CBSE exploring options to conduct the Class 12 board examinations, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.
Expecting children who are already under immense pressure to sit for their exams wearing all sorts of protective gear for hours at a stretch day after day is insensitive and unfair, Priyanka said.
