Imphal, January 09 2023:
Taking serious note of the early conduct of final examination by some private schools in violation of the government's order to conduct the same in the first half of February, Socialist Students' Union of Manipur (SSUM) has said that the union will carry out inspection visit to schools to check such violation of orders.
Addressing a press meet at its office here on Monday, SSUM president S Yaima pointed out that the government issued the order for conducting the final examination for classes 1 to 9 during February 1 to 15 so that students could cover up the loss in academic time due to Covid-19 pandemic.
SSUM welcomed the government's decision since the academic session began late due to the pandemic.
However, some private schools violated the directive and conducted their final examinations in November and December while some are planning to hold the same in January.
There are even reports of some schools starting the new academic session, he said and also informed that the union will carry out inspection visit from Tuesday onwards and necessary actions will be taken up against schools that are found ignoring the government's order.
