“We want to know how our result is going to be calculated. At the time of the cancellation, the state education department said a specially designed way of assessment for SSC results will be announced soon. One month on, there is no news about it. The department seems to have already moved to the issues of HSC,” said Gargi Joshi, a student from Mulund.
She said her friends from non-state board schools are in a better position as their assessment pattern has been declared by the respective boards. “It has already been a tough year for students, who shifted to online schooling. Later, they were expected to appear for offline exams with no practice.
They breathed a sigh of relief after the announcement of cancellation. But, it seems that they are again left in the lurch, with no clarity on the assessment,” said Malini Kachchi, a parent from Malad.
When mid-day contacted the school education department of Maharashtra, an official requesting anonymity said, “Experts are evaluating all possible options for SSC evaluation. And there will be clarity soon.”
