Parents said that if the schools required to conduct examinations, then there should be at least 90 days of regular classes which will allow the students to understand basics. After that, the state could preferably conduct the examination in MCQ format.
The parents also pointed out that several schools were threatening to hold back students if they do not attend online classes. In addition, the schools were also forcefully making the parents agree to send their children for exams.
A message from a private school in Falajnuma reads, “This is to inform you that online classes are going on for classes nursery to 10th. Make sure your child attends the online classes otherwise he /she will remain in the same class. No promotion for the next class will be given in the next academic year.
