Std IV boards on the roll
By:
Most of the city’s 1,600 schools are expected to receive the forms by Monday.
Education Officer Ajit Deshmukh said, “Apart from the 1,200 municipal schools,
exams will be conducted for around 390 government-aided schools. We still have
to know how many of the 545 non-aided schools will participate.”
An official said, “There has been no official order from the state education
department cancelling the board exams, so we have been directed to start the
process.”
Deshmukh admits his department is short-staffed for the exercise, the biggest
ever undertaken by the department. “I will have to manage with a staff of only
60 beat officers, 15 superintendents and 24 assistant officers,” he said.
Meanwhile, 176 unaided convent schools governed by the Archdiocese Board of
Education (ABE) have been directed to not participate in the board exams.
ABE Secretary Father Gregory Lobo said, “The primary section of most convent
schools are unaided, except for a few.”
Principals of unaided schools have said that some parents were pressurising them
to participate in the exams. Loretta D’Souza, principal of A H Wadia High
School, Andheri (West) said, “Some parents ask us why we are not conducting
these exams. They want their wards to be on par with students of other schools.”
Versova Welfare High School said it might opt to participate in the exams. While
the primary section principal was unavailable, secondary section principal
Pushpa John said, “When the students reach the SSC, there will be no
differentiation.”
Meanwhile, teachers are feeling the pressure of preparing students. Headmistress
of St Stanislaus High School, Mayrose D’Souza, said, “Our students will have to
remember the entire portion till the end of year, instead of only part of
syllabus for every exam.”
A parent, Mamata Pradhan, whose son is in Hansraj Morarjee Public School,
Andheri (West), said, “If the exams do come through, I will buy the books and
teach him myself.”
