Doha: Due to current health scenarios around the world the Indian education board, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), has decided to cancel exams for the students of class 10 and 12 schools located outside India.
All Indian schools in Qatar follow the CBSE curriculum.
CBSE said that the system of marking/assessment for the purpose of declaring results will be worked out by the Board shortly and informed to these schools.
“There are several CBSE schools located in 25 countries (including Qatar). Each of these countries is also under lockdown and/or have decided to close down the schools for various and differential lengths of time. Under such circumstances, it is felt that the Board will not be in a position to hold a differential set of exams for each of these countries.
Also, in the present situation, it will be difficult to bring the answer books to India for evaluation purposes. Therefore, the Board has decided to not hold any more exams for the students of class 10 and 12 schools located outside India,” the board said in a press release.
