The University of Punjab has announced that the English test scheduled for today will be on April 13, 2023, rather than tomorrow. Students are skipping the board test in large numbers this year. The number of students that skipped the board exams this year was the largest in at least the previous ten years, which is significant.
According to the board, more than 4.18 lakh students, including kids from classes 10 and 12, missed the Hindi exam on the first day of the exam, conducted in two shifts. Around 70,200 pupils failed to show up for their language exam, held on March 26. As a result of the steadily growing number of dropouts, authorities have been compelled to begin an investigation into the situation.
Additionally, to determine the cause of the high dropout rates, Chief Secretary for Secondary Education Aradhana Shukla has asked the UPSEB secretary to convene an active committee with the assistance of district inspectors. But it has also emerged that high dropout rates may be linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been linked to an increase in dropout rates.
