Wisdom Students conference warns against changing higher secondary exam timing, impacting student morale negatively.
A conference of the Wisdom Students held at Perinthalmanna on Sunday warned that the change of timing of higher secondary examinations would negatively affect the morale of students.
The conference titled ‘Enrich Exam Pointer’, held in the run-up to a mega student conference being planned at Perinthalmanna on May 11, said changing the higher secondary exams to afternoon could not be justified under any circumstance.
“It will be better for the students if the authorities hold both SSLC and higher secondary exams in the morning. Shifting higher secondary exams to the afternoon in the name of SSLC exams will only help affect the morale of students,” said Wisdom Youth State vice president P.P. Naseef while inaugurating the meet.
“SSLC exams last only for nine days. But higher secondary exams last for 18 days. Changing the time of higher secondary exams is a poor decision. It will affect the students badly, especially in the hot days of Ramzan,” said Dr. Naseef.
Wisdom Students zonal president Abdulla Naseem V.K. presided over the function.
The Madras High Court on Monday (January 20, 2025) wanted to know from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs whether there were guidelines in place for police and prison officials to ensure that foreign nationals arrested in connection with criminal cases were extended all the rights that other prisoners were entitled to.
