State governments across the country began shutting down schools and colleges temporarily as a measure to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus somewhere in the second week of March. There was no immediate solution to the pandemic and thus the lockdown in the country kept extending which not only affected the businesses and offices but also the Education sector. The Class 10th exams were slated to take place on June 15 but were cancelled in wake of the spread of Coronavirus and the schools were directed to evaluate the students by taking into consideration students’ performance in the half-yearly exams up to a maximum weightage of 80% and the remaining percentage to be decided on the basis of their attendance.
2nd Batch of 29 students from 10th were to write the exam, but due to cancellation of the public exam all these 29 students were promoted to the next class. Bharath of 10th Std., passed with 90% scoring 433 marks in three subjects. We proud to say that in spite of difficulties, all the students passed in the exam. All the students have enrolled in class 11 and are attending online classes. The School teachers are in touch with these children and ensuring that they continue their education and not get distracted because of the pandemic.
Our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your support in providing education for the underprivileged children of Kannaginagar Slum Rehabilitation Colony in Chennai, India.
