A lawyer send an appeal to the Madras High Court seeking orders to the Tamil Nadu Education Board to postpone the class 10, 12 board exams until the state reports zero positive novel coronavirus cases.
Madras High Court may postpone the TN class 10, 12 board exams 2020. A day after the release of the revised schedule for the Tamilnadu board exams 2020 for pending papers that got postponed due to COVID-19 lockdown, a lawyer send an appeal to the Madras High Court seeking orders to the Tamil Nadu Education Board to postpone the class 10, 12 board exams until the state reports zero positive novel coronavirus cases.
According to the revised Tamilnadu 10th Date Sheet 2020 and Tamilnadu 12th Date Sheet 2020, the board exams are scheduled to be conducted from June 1 to June 4. Expressing that the state is witnessing a severe increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, advocate S Stalinraja stated that conducting TN 10th Board Exams 2020 and TN 12th Board Exams 2020 amid this difficult time would put the health and life of the students at stake. The advocate further elaborated that students from containment zones would not be able to appear for the exams either. The plea moves as a PIL and is likely to be taken by a division bench headed by Justice Vineet Kothari today i.e. May 14.
While referring to the expert reports said that as per WHO the COVID-19 cases in the state will be at its peak in the month of June and July. More than 10 lakh students will be appearing for the board exams and maintain social distancing norms will not be possible, considering their age and maturity. He further added that students living in villages will not be able to appear for the exams due to a lack of transport facilities amid lockdown.
Therefore, considering the impact of scheduling such important exams amid the spread of the novel coronavirus, the petitioner wants the state board to postpone the exams and reschedule it when the normalcy is restored.
Considering the appeal, if the HC orders to postpone the TN Board Exams 2020, the TN 10th Result 2020 and TN 12th Result 2020 would be delayed as well.
