Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — Offline exams

Address:

Kerala

The CBSE has given the permission to conduct offline exams for class 9 and 11. during this pandemic. I am in Kerala, the state which has high number of COVID-19 cases everyday. Still they aren't giving permission to conduct exams online. While there are many schools conducting online exams, some aren't. How can we write a 3 hour exam while putting a mask in this hot summer? How can we write exams during this pandemic? Schools are forcing us. Majority student wants online exams in Kerala. We are not telling to cancel the exams. The whole year has been conducted online and at the end, they need an offline exam? They are calling us to write an exam for just a month? Why? The elections are coming ahead & the number of positive cases will tend to increase. There are also reports that some students, teachers and staff have been positive in school in Kerala. Why the schools can make this whole year online? What if we get infected? The schools will not take the responsibility neither the government. We should get a choice at-least. Every student now has the access to online classes in Kerala. The class is going well. Also the marks of class 9 and 11 does not matter much. Please help us. The exam is going to be held at next week at school. The Kerala govt hasn't given permission to go to school except 10 and 12. Offline classes haven't started so offline exams is not an option. Hoping for a positive & faster response.
