The Telangana Board of Secondary Education has taken the right decision in cancelling the board examinations for the academic year 2020-21 in view of the prevailing pandemic situation. This decision will help the students to move forward in their educational journey without any further delay.
The recent coronavirus outbreak has uprooted many activities, and the education sector is one of the most affected due to the pandemic. The Telangana Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) has recently announced that the board examinations that were to be conducted in March 2021 have been postponed.
The Telangana Board of Secondary Education, commonly known as TBSE, is a state-level board responsible for maintaining, controlling, and developing secondary level of education in the state of Telangana. The board’s responsibility includes conducting Board examinations and declaration of results.
The board examinations which were scheduled to be conducted in March 2021 have been postponed due to the prevalence of Covid-19 cases in the state. The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination and intermediate examinations for both general and vocational educational streams were to be conducted as per the scheduled dates.
The decision was taken after careful deliberation between the Government of Telangana and TBSE. The board will continue to conduct practical exams for all the examination classes both secondary and intermediate. The dates for the practical examinations are yet to be announced.
The board has decided to shift the existing academic year to the next academic year to avoid any additional loss of academic time and further disruption to the educational system. The board will also conduct a special examination for those students who had lost out the opportunity to appear for their board examinations in the last academic year.
The board is yet to inform the examination dates and the curriculum that is to be followed in the forthcoming board examinations. The board will announce the revised dates of the examinations once the situation is more amenable to organizing such events.
This decision taken by the Telangana Board of Secondary Education has helped safeguard the health and well-being of the students and other examination staff. As the current situation of the pandemic is still unpredictable, the board is trying its best to keep the academic year on track while ensuring the safety of everyone.
