Though few government schools are conducting online class, almost all private schools in Jiribam district are conducting online classes.
Some private schools had already conducted examination while some private schools are preparingto conduct physical examination.
Some private schools had conducted examination through online while some are preparing to conduct physical examination.
Saddened by this difference in mode of conducting examination, some parents/guardians whose children could not attend online classes opined that the examination is only for students who could afford to join online classes or take tuition/coaching classes conducted by some schools in secrecy.
They also fear that all schools in the district may conduct examination just like some private schools which are preparing to conduct physical examination in secrecy.
