Srinagar, October 17

After the government in Kashmir announced the schedule for board exams, the private schools have also asked the students to prepare for exams to be held in November before the beginning of new academic session.

Deeba Mufti, a mother from Sanat Nagar whose two sons study in a private school in the main city of Srinagar, said the school had called a parents’ meet and they were informed to prepare the children for the annual exams that were scheduled to be held in November.

“We were told that the exams will be held in November but the children have not completed the syllabus yet,” Deeba said. She said they had been told to prepare students for the exams after which a new academic session would start.

Many schools, through newspaper advertisements, have called a meeting of parents and share with them the schedule of exams and assessment. Burn Hall School in Srinagar announced a meeting of parents with the teachers regarding the final assessment of the academic year of their wards from October 17 to October 20.

The students have been at home for the last 75 days due the current tension in Kashmir after August 5 when the Article-370 was abrogated in Jammu and Kashmir.
