Kolkata/UNI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday announced that the students of class X and XII can appear directly to the board final examinations and there will not be any Tests this academic year due to Covid-19 situation.
Addressing the media after presiding over a cabinet meeting at Nabanna in Kolkata, the chief minister said this decision was taken in view of the persisting pandemic situation, which forced the authorities to suspend all the classes since March last to prevent spreading of coronavirus.
The decision will be implemented on students of West Bengal Secondary and West Bengal Higher Secondary Education Board respectively.
The students can straightway appear for the board final examinations in 2021.
Banerjee also announced in coming two months the education department will start appointing teachers in some 16,500 vacant posts.
She said some 20,000 candidates, both males and females, have passed TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) and the government will be appointing them into the vacant posts in coming December and January.
