In order to facilitate government school students and reduce exam stress, the UT education department has launched an exam helpline which is all set to start tomorrow.
According to the education department officials, the helpline will be functional from February 10 till April 15 and has 16 teachers on board. The list of helpline numbers along with names of teachers and their subjects will be put up on all school notice boards so that students can utilise the same in time of need.
“During exams, students tend to take lot of stress, which is not good for their health. In order to help them relieve exam stress and provide a resolution to their last-minute queries, we have started a helpline through which students can contact subject experts whenever they want,” informed Chanchal Singh, Deputy Director, Education Department, UT.
Any student can contact the teachers between 2:00-7:30 pm during the above mentioned period.
Notably, the education department launches the helpline each year near the board exams for the convenience of students.
