CBSE Class 12 Exams 2021: Samajwadi Party on Tuesday said students should be vaccinated against coronavirus before board tests are conducted, with its president Akhilesh Yadav confirming that “there is no exam without vaccination”.
As the government is in the process of deciding on the Class 12 board exams and subsequent entry exams suspended due to the second wave of COVID-19, a request has been made in some areas that if the exams are to be held, students should be vaccinated first.
“Pahle tika, fir pariksha (first vaccination, then examination). No Examination Without Vaccination,” Akhilesh Yadav tweeted.
Demanding vaccination of students, Samajwadi Party MLC Udaiveer Singh said, “The central government should not play with lives of students.”
At a high-level meeting convened by the Department of Education earlier this week, Delhi, Kerala and others demanded that students be vaccinated before the exam.
Following a meeting on Sunday, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ said there was a strong consensus in the provinces on how to conduct Class 12 board exams and that a “knowledgeable, collaborative” decision would be taken on June 1.
