the points are- •There is a steep increase in the number of covid cases, as of today according to 'the hindu' newspaper 1,29,054 cases were reported. It is not only unsafe for the students to give exams but also for their respective family members.

•Most of the students have been tested positive for the virus. They are surely unfit to give the exams but due to the exam pressure and career issues they will tend to give the exams and might hide their health conditions.

•Students will not only catch the virus from the school premises but also from all the places between their home and school, from the public transport and their locality

•According to AIMMS (delhi) Director Dr. Randeep Guleria the second wave of covid-19 is infecting more number of children under the age of 17 than adults.

•In bengaluru around 400 children are infected by the virus.

•According to the new education policy 2020-21, the 10+2 structure in the schooling system has been replaced by a 5+3+3+4 structure,so there will be no boards for class 10th and class 10th board result only act as a mere birth certificate.

• People under the age of 45 are not being vaccinated therefore children are not vaccinated.

•More than 1 lakh individuals have signed petitions for the cancellation of board exams including students,teachers,parents,and respected activist.

•The government is saying that the schools will take proper precautions, sir my question is that the schools failed to provide normal cleanliness in non-covid days, will they will be able to take precautions and provide sanitisation in covid days?

Wearing masks for a prolonged amount of time causes a host of physiologic and psychologic burdens and can decrease work efficiency. Activity cannot be performed as long or as efficiently while wearing masks as compared to when masks are not worn.

Additionally, the timeframe that an activity can be sustained is decreased when wearing masks and PPE . Prolonged use of N95 and surgical masks causes physical adverse effects such as headaches, difficulty breathing, acne, skin breakdown, rashes, and impaired cognition.

The Tamil Nadu government has already cancelled the board exams in their state.
