SSLC, Plus two exams begin today, only one person to accompany student

Exam phobia is a mental disorder, characterised by symptoms such as depression, anxiety, excitement, loss of appetite, fear, shivering and so on.

SSLC and Plus Two examinations will begin today in Kerala. It is estimated that 4.2 lakh students appear for the SSLC examinations, and another 8 lakh for Plus One, Plus Two and vocational higher secondary examination.

The chief minister had on May 19 said the parents themselves should make the necessary travel arrangements. Only one person can accompany the student.

The decision to hold the examinations was done amid stiff opposition from several parties, including both the Congress and the BJP, and also many teachers' organisations. They had said it would not be practical to hold the examinations as teachers and students would find it hard to reach schools at a time when public transport had not been fully restored.

It was also said it would also be virtually impossible to observe social distancing when lakhs of students and their parents reach schools. The Chief Minister had argued that social distancing could be followed as examination time was different from normal school time.
