Interestingly, not many people chose to wait until the COVID19 vaccine, showing an acceptance for the current normalcy or perhaps a disdain for the possible timing of the vaccine. Only about 5.7% of those surveyed opted for the exams based on the calendar in February and March 2021.
The poll resonated with expert opinion and the suggestion that the board’s examinations should be postponed until May. Many teachers have raised concerns about preparing students in the absence of physical classes, insisting that at least three months are required before board exams are conducted to ensure students are ready to sit for the exam.
