Imphal, January 22 2022:
The Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has appealed the Government to form a set of appropriate SOP for conducting the examinations under BOSEM, COHSEM and CBSE.
In a statement issued today, Mayengbam Somorjit Luwang, secretary general DESAM said the condition of the pandemic has worsened in the State during the last couple of days and the daily positivity rate has also skyrocketed.
In the face of such conditions and the fact that most students of Class IX, X, XI and XII, who are going to give their examinations conducted by different boards, are mostly unvaccinated, the need for appropriate SOP is the need of the hour.
Despite the fact that vaccination for 15-18 years was kicked off on January 3, the rate of vaccination of children in this age bracket is quite low in the State, added DESAM in the
statement.
DESAM added that Manipur University had already resolved to conduct the 1st, 3rd and 5th semester examinations in online mode in view of the pandemic.
