Just right after
the end of class 10th matriculation exam in Assam, 600 answer
scripts were burned to ashes the next day in a school in the upper Assam town of Jorhat. This incident takes back to the year 2012
when quite alike episode took place; the 10th papers became chow for
the cows. Approx of 300 papers were eaten up by the cows. The same mistake
repeated again in much worse outline.
The confrontation has stir up state-wide gripe
by student organisations, enraged mob geared the SEBA(Secondary Education Board
of Assam) office in Guwahati and took out processions and burnt effigies in protest.
The affected
answer scripts are of the subjects of English, General Mathematics, and
Assamese MIL, elective papers of Sanskrit, Additional Maths, Geography and
Computer Science.
The examination
community of SEBA decided that the examinees may need to take the test again in
only one subject that fell prey to fire and those those not willing to sit for
a retest; the average of the marks attained in the five other major subjects
will be taken as the score in the affected answer script.
Even after
the 2012 incident the SEBA board didn’t gain anything. After the 2012 incident becoming
much chary should have been expected but it came out to be reverse.
Strong
action must be taken against the SEBA until they start taking things seriously.
