The Government of Haryana has decided to cancel Haryana Board Exam 2022 for classes 5, 8 for this year. Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced that the government has decided to cancel class 5, 8 exams for this year.
The decision has been made by the government after many parents, private school associations and CBSE affiliated schools protested demanding cancellation of Class 5, 8 board exams conduction. As per Haryana chief minister, the board exams for classes 5, 8 will be conducted from the next year onward.
“Haryana Alert | Chief Minister MLKhattar today announced that there will be no board exams for class 5th and 8th this year. The examinations of both CBSE and Haryana Board have been postponed for time being. From next session, board exams will be conducted for 5th & 8th classes,” DPR Haryana tweeted.
Parents of Class 5 and 8 students held protests in 12 schools across Gurugram city, these schools are governed/affiliated by CBSE, CISCE, and IB Boards. The protesting parents said that schools are closed for more than 650 days, hence, sitting for the exams for the students who are struggling to maintain learning gaps is very difficult. The parents also said that a new board exam will create additional pressure on them.
“Children are already preparing for their term 2 final exams while dealing with COVID restrictions. Many have not had digital access to classrooms, and have been struggling with hybrid teaching. “Trying to prepare for a new Board exam will be impossible for them,” they said.
“The proposed BSEH (Board of Secondary Education, Haryana) syllabus differs from syllabi being taught in many schools. Students from a large number of schools are not familiar with this syllabus, and it is unfair to expect them to study it in a little over a month,” said the protesting parents.
