Haryana Government's Move To Introduce Board Exams For Class 5,8 Triggers Row
The Haryana government has decided to introduce board exams for students of classes V and VIII not only in its own schools but also private ones, irrespective of the board to which they are affiliated, from the 2022-23 academic session. The decision sparked controversy among the private schools in the state affiliated to CBSE and CISCE boards. Associations of private school management have opposed this move insisting that a school affiliated with one board cannot have affiliation with another to conduct board exams. According to the state government's order, all government and private schools will have to register themselves with the Haryana board to conduct class 5 and 8 exams before February 20.
