Students of Class IX and XI, studying in various government schools in Delhi, and their parents are in utter confusion because of the delay in the declaration of annual results.

The teachers claim that uncertainty had led to anxiety and poor focus among students. The results of Class IX and XI, however, would be announced by next week, informed a senior official of the state Education Department.

Currently, students are being sent interactive activities on mobile phones of parents, who are enrolled in mathematics classes in collaboration with Khan Academy.

Anoop Kumar, a student of Class IX, said: “I am eagerly waiting for my final results. I have borrowed Class X books from my friend. I take out time to study. There is a lot of uncertainty in my mind.”

In certain schools, brilliant students have already been added to a group of Class X.

Another student Rajneesh said: “I am in a dilemma. I attend two classes online for both classes. Results must be declared as soon as possible. I do not feel like studying my old class syllabus anymore.”

Woes of students do not end here. Teachers, too, are left with constant nagging by parents.

“A majority of them do not have mobile phones or access to the internet. We do not have any feedback mechanisms. Students are confused about the status of their classes. Hence, they are not being able to focus on their studies,” said Akhilesh Diwedi, a school teacher.

“We have been receiving calls from parents and students regarding the declaration of results. There is no clarity on the status of the results,” said Sant Ram, district secretary (West), Government School Teachers’ Association.

Shailendra Sharma, the principal adviser to education director, said: “None of the activities is class aligned. Students have been given interactive assignments. This anxiety among students is understandable. However, the results will be declared by next week.”
