Addressing the uncertainty around Class 12 exams in Maharashtra, State School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad said that a decision on this will be taken in a week.
Gaikwad was speaking to the media after the conclusion of a virtual meeting put together by the Central Government regarding Class 12 board exams.
It’s worth pointing out that the State Government recently cancelled Class 10 state board exams, though a decisive call on Class 12 exams is yet to be taken.

“The chief minister (Uddhav Thackeray) has called a meeting on Monday with the school education department and a decision regarding Class 12 exams will be taken in a week's time,” Gaikwad said.
She sought a firm decision on Class 12 exams, saying, “Students have been studying in class 12th for over 14 months. Personally, I believe that we should remove the uncertainty regarding exams & take a decision that is in student's interest.”
“Our focus should now be in evolving a UNIFORM ASSESSMENT policy, VACCINATION of all teachers & eligible students, & safe resumption of schools, colleges campuses for the next academic year,” Gaikwad said in a subsequent tweet.
