“Keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic situation and the projection that children are vulnerable to new strains of Coronavirus, the option of a ‘non-examination route’ for Std XII students should be actively examined,” she tweeted. “Students have been studying in Std XII for over 14 months. Personally, I believe that we should remove the uncertainty regarding exams and take a decision that is in students’ interest. Our focus should now be in evolving a uniform assessment policy, vaccination of all teachers and eligible students and safe resumption of schools, college campuses for the next academic year,” stated Gaikwad in another tweet, adding that the final decision would be taken post a discussion with the chief minister and legal department.
