Demand for deferring Plus Two exams unlikely to be considered

The Education Department is unlikely to act on a memorandum submitted by Plus Two students demanding that their final examinations, now scheduled to begin on March 17, be put off. A group of 36 students, some of them pursuing science courses and studying in Kozhikode schools, had written to the Education Minister, Director General of Education, and the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in recent days. Due to the pandemic situation classes were held online.
