Teachers have been asking to do away with CBSE practical examinations as no physical sessions were taking place throughout the year due to COVID-19 curbs. Instead, they have advised the government to allow scoring the students based upon internal assessment and written assignments.

A teacher from Odisha had tweeted that, โ€œI am a teacher in Kendriya Vidyalaya School, Odisha. I suggest cancelling the CBSE Board Exams this year because schools have been closed for last 9 months and it is very difficult to teach online due to poor network connectivityโ€.

Another Twitter user named Madhuri Srivastava said, โ€œGood Morning Respected sir my opinion for CBSE Board exam . Sir please postpone the board exam. Because online study is GOOD for those cities where teachers and students both are very well known to use the technology for study.โ€

Earlier, the live interaction with teachers was earlier scheduled to be conducted on December 17. However, the webinar was later postponed after considering the "overwhelming response".

Better to cancel board exms, cuz, every child is gonna fail in this pandemic if at all boards are gonna conducted. No clarity in digital classes, no intrest of students even though they r at home, network problem, data is not sufficient etc.
