The National Examination Board has decided to hold the Grade 12 exams.

Amid growing uncertainty over whether the Grade 12 exams will be held on time owing to the teachers' protest, a meeting of the National Examination Board held this morning has decided to hold the Grade 12 exams as scheduled.  

But the agitating teachers have been saying that they would not participate in the Grade 12 exams.

The Nepal Teachers Federation had also appealed to the principals, teachers and staffers to not take part in the Grade 12 exams.

Board Chairman Mahashram Sharma informed that the meeting has decided to request all the concerned sides to help in conducting the exams.

He said that the meeting has also decided to urge the teachers to present themselves responsibly as exams are a sensitive issue.

“We are in a discussion. We will urge the teachers to present themselves responsibly as the exams are a sensitive issue. The Grade 12 exams will be held on time,” Sharma said.

The government is preparing to conduct the Grade 12 exams from April 24 by deploying civil servants even if the teachers do not participate in the exams.

The exams of 550, 000 students will be uncertain if the exams are affected by the protests of teachers.

The protests have even delayed the results of Secondary Education Examination (SEE) and affected the new admission process.
