Shiv Sena Leader and Maharashtra Cabinet Minster Aditya Thackeray in his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged him to postpone examinations across the country keeping in mind the risk youth might face in the wake of the COVID-19- Pandemic.
He mentioned that it is not practical nor feasible to conduct exams as the public transportation facilities are yet to resume in the red zones.
He added:
“Wherever in the world schools and colleges have reopened, a large number of COVID cases have been found. In our country, most students live with their parents and grandparents and the infection, if at all, can be fatal. The system for even single paper would include not just students, but teachers, non-teaching staff and much more of the state apparatus, most of whom are in the high-risk group..”
Thackeray also suggested that the new academic year should be started from January 2021 instead of the regular June 2020 so that no student loses the academic year.
