With coronavirus cases continuing to surge across the country, parents and students, who are set to appear in the class X and XII board exam, have taken to social media in protest. Hashtags #CancelBoardExams2021 and #CancelBoards2021 began to trend on Twitter as many appealed to the government and educational boards to cancel the exams scheduled in May.
Students are urging authorities to address their concerns, arguing that they too are at risk of getting infected with Covid. Many also argued that if classes could be held online, so can examinations be held.
Authorities have assured they will take all precautions and follow all Covid protocols while conducting exams for 2021. However, many students are not convinced. While some took to social media to highlight how other countries are dealing with the situation, others shared information about the surge in Covid-19 cases, saying “student lives matter”.
