Furthermore, several teachers in Maharashtra have requested the state education department to consider postponing class 10 and 12 board examinations for the current academic year (2020-21) as the academic calendar has been disturbed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant lockdown.
While many schools in the states have begun to operate online in June, however, there are several teachers who are worried that the students might not be able to prepare for the board exams if it is conducted as per the schedule. Delhi govt also wrote to CBSE to consider postponing board examinations from March to May. This year, both students and teachers are under a lot of stress as online learning is still not at par with physical classes.
