PONDA: As some schools prepare to start online classes for Class X students, the parents of those Class IX students, who have failed, are worried about the future of their children as the Education Department has not yet taken a decision to hold supplementary exams.
The parents have demanded that Education Department take decision on conducting supplementary exams for Class IX failed students so that they can clear the same and attend online Classes X classes once they commence. They fear that with no supplementary exams, these Class IX failed students will miss the online classes for Class X students. The parents complain that with no exams the students cannot be promoted to Class X and attend online classes, which may commence any time as government has already provided online training to teachers.
