High drama unfolded at a school in Odisha’s Cuttack district after the headmaster (HM) forgot to send the Class 10 half-yearly question papers to the exam centre on time. Students were made to wait for hours while the HM who had kept the question papers at his home forgot to send them. To add to the woes, he himself did not show up at the exam centre.
The bizarre incident has been reported from Sri Sri Pingaleswar Government High School in Mahangapada under Niali block of Cuttack district.
As per reports, today was the first day of the half-yearly exam for Class X students at Sri Sri Pingaleswar Government High School. The exam was scheduled to start at 10 am in the morning.
As per the schedule, all the students had gathered at the exam centre from 9:30 am in the morning. However, there was no sight of the headmaster even as it clocked 10:30 am. Shockingly, he had kept the question papers at his home and wasn’t coming to the school.
Later, the CRCC had to travel all the way to the HM’s house in Jagatsinghpur to bring the question papers. This led to severe delay in the starting of the examination, triggering outrage among the students and their guardians.
The students could not appear for the MIL exam that was scheduled in the first half. They could only appear for the English exam in the second half.
“Just because of his negligence, we could not appear for our MIL exam today. We could only sit for the second exam at 1:30 pm. We had studied for the MIL exam, and it has been cancelled now due to the HM’s negligence. He hardly comes to school and only makes a visit once in a week or once in a month,” alleged a student.
When contacted, the CRCC said that he has informed the Block Education Officer (BEO) about the incident and that necessary steps would be taken in this regard.
