The big question in the minds of school going students is whether their examinations will be offline or online? The state of mind of students presently is tumultuous because after two years of online exams that too with sympathy of teachers, parents and others, almost all the students are showing inhibition to revert to offline exams with a plea that they have studied online. Though, chances of board exams of senior classes are quite bright that the same will be held online as already inoculation of children between the age group of 15 and 18 years is in full swing and there is every chance that the majority of these will get their first doses well before the exam time thus making them fortified against the disease corona and government can think of going for offline exams. What about the other classes in which children are not vaccinated yet and the Omicron is not behaving at all with 10 deaths reported yesterday in Jammu Division only after people falling prey to Omicron? The government and other stakeholders responsible for taking the decision over the issue must be in a fix because still the status of pandemic is not clear and the exam time is fast approaching. It is quite obvious that as soon as the exam system will return to normalcy is best for all, especially the students as assessment of students by online exams has many loopholes and in a way the method is unfair with the chance of students going for unfair means. Whatever will be decided by the concerned helmsmen should be in the interest of all and good for the society as well because young children are the future of the country and their career is pivotal for making the country strong in the coming times. Though the situation arising out of the third wave again is unprecedented, a trade-off has to be made between the safety and education of the students while deciding that the exams will be held online or offline.
