Board students worried as government issues date-sheet without syllabus relaxation

Srinagar: Day after the Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education (JKBOSE) issued date-sheets for class 10 and 12 examinations, students have demanded reduction in syllabus for the exams, as they lost more than two months of class work due to prevailing lockdown.
While a few class 10 students admitted of completing their syllabus at tuition centres but several class 12 students said that a considerable portion of their course is still pending.
To compensate the lost class work, tuition centres in the valley distributed study material and assignments among the students.
However, many students pursuing medical stream said that the study material and assignments were far from being an alternative to actual class work.
Mariya, a class 12 medical student from Srinagar’s downtown area said that they were yet to complete syllabus in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Several other students added that they were particularly affected “because unlike others, we could not even visit the local private tutors for tuitions or get the study material due to the severe restrictions” in Srinagar’s downtown.
Saqib, an Arts student from Srinagar said that he relied solely on his teachers at school, which has been shut for over two months now.
“We are yet to complete a considerable portion of the syllabus in Political Science and Education,” Saqib said demanding a reduction of syllabus for the upcoming annual exams.
He said that students of his stream were particularly concerned about the paper of Physical Education, that mostly relied on practical work.
“We have hardly done any practical in the subject, so how are we going to appear in exams?” he asked.
Several students from central Kashmir’s Budgam citing incomplete syllabus too expressed same views.
Meanwhile, due to the internet shutdown, several students were on Saturday still clueless about the JKBOSE having issued the date sheet for class 10 and 12 annual examinations.
