“The board examinations of Class 10 New Course syllabus were over earlier. Only few subjects of Class 10 and Class 12 Old Syllabus were left due to COVID-19 lockdown. We are planning to start those remaining examinations from June 5. All the examinations will start from 12 PM and continue till 3:15 PM,” Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath told the mediapersons at Civil Secretariat on Thursday late evening.

Referring to complaints received regarding fees of private-run schools in the state, the minister said that he requested the private schools not to hike schools fees and take initiatives for fee-relaxation for the students in the crisis period.

“I have asked the private schools to write to me about their initiatives they have taken. So far, I got reports from 34 schools where they have agreed to give relaxation in tuition fees and school bus fares,” said Nath.

There are total 309 private schools with enrollment of nearly one lakh students. Nearly 5,000 teachers are serving in these schools.
