The ICSE class 10 board exams have been
cancelled in view of the worsening COVID-19 situation and the option for
students to appear later has been withdrawn, board secretary Gerry Arathoon
said on Tuesday.
Last week, the board had postponed both
class 10 and 12 exams.
The Council for The Indian School
Certificate Examinations (CISCE) had announced that class 10 students will get
an option to either write the exams later or get evaluated on the basis of an
alternative criteria.
“Given the present worsening situation of
the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, the CICSE has decided to cancel the class
10 examination. The option for students announced earlier, stands withdrawn.
The safety and wellbeing of our students
and teaching faculty is of topmost priority and paramount importance,” said
Arathoon, Secretary and Chief Executive of the CISCE.
“We are committed to devise a fair and unbiased criterion for declaring class 10 results. The criterion as well as the date of declaration fo results will be announced later,” he said.
