NSUI students stage protest against Class 12 board exams 2021 in offline mode in front of Education Ministry

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) staged a protest at the Ministry of Education on Friday demanding the cancellation of class 12 board examinations in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The student wing of the Congress party said in a statement that the protesters wore PPE kits and followed Covid protocols while raising the slogan “‘pehle suraksha, phir pariksha’ (first safety, then



exams)”.

The NSUI demanded that the government should find an alternative to the examinations as India is battling a second wave of coronavirus infection.

“The government can grade the students on the basis of their past performances, assignments or classroom assessments, but risking the lives of these students is an insensitive decision,” the NSUI said.
