MUMBAI: The state on Thursday waived off the state board 2021-22 exam fees for students who have lost their parents to the Covid-19 pandemic.
State school education minister Varsha Gaikwad said that while such students have gone through a lot, their education should continue.
The enrollment of students for the SSC and HSC exams slated for February-March next year is underway.
It will be a one-time exam fee waiver. Last year (2020-21), with exams cancelled, the state board refunded a part of the exam fees to students.
