As schools to remain closed, confusion prevails over exams #IndiaNEWS #Goa News
Valpoi: With COVID-19 concerns growing, the Goa government has ordered closure of all educational institutions from primary school level till March 31, but another notification of the government also says that all exams from class I to XII will be as per schedule and this has put many students and their parents in a dilemma.



Many parents said that since the high school exams are
scheduled from March 20 and ending on March 31, they will have to send their
children to school after March 19. They said this needs to be clarified by the
government with immediate effect.



“If the government is so much concerned then it should
postpone the exams and reschedule them after reviewing the situation in the
state,� said a parent.



Interestingly, all aided schools following headmasters
association and Diocesan Society of Education ‘time-table for summative exam’
are scheduled to conduct exams from March 20.



“It is good that the government has suspended school
classes but how does the government’s decision of suspending classes to avoid
spread of coronavirus will be effective if exams will go on as per schedule,�
questioned another parent, whose ward will be answering class VIII exam.



When contacted few heads of schools from the state, they
said that they are following the guidelines issued by the education department
and, as per notification, exams will be conducted as per scheduled dates from
March 20.



Parents, however, are seeking clarity as on one side the
government has announced suspension of classes till March 31 and in another
communiqué, all exams are slated to go on as per scheduled dates.



“May be the government took into consideration other
parts of the country where primary and high school exams are over. But in Goa
high school exams are held during the last week of March and primary schools
conduct exams in the first week of April,� said a parent, adding, the
government should clear the confusion on the school examinations.
