Bengaluru: Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar on Thursday, June 25 visited many schools to inspect the arrangements made and spoke to the teachers deployed there.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Kumar said everywhere adequate arrangements have been made and there was no need for people to be afraid.
He said at a few places some glitches had surfaced which were resolved.
The Karnataka government decided to conduct the examination ignoring the opposition’s appeal to put the exams on hold till the coronavirus is brought under total control.
The opposition leaders, especially former chief minister and JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy had cautioned the government against holding the exam as there was community spread of coronavirus.
The exams were scheduled from March 27 but were put on hold for an indefinite period due to the coronavirus induced lockdown.
While the neighbouring states gave students general promotion, the Karnataka government said the exams cannot be avoided because it is a turning point in the academic career of children as they choose their stream based on the exam results.
The exams will go on till June 4
