PRAYAGRAJ: Though the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the results of class 10 and 12 exams almost a month back, around 68 students of class 10 and 12 of the city’s Lawrence International School, Dandupur, are in a fix as their results have not been declared till date and they have to seek admission in the next class or college for further education.
Agitated over the delay in announcement of their results, a group of students and their parents protested at the regional office of CBSE here on Thursday. However, the security did not allow the students into the premises.
The students wanted to know that despite giving several representations to the district administration and the CBSE officials, their results have not been announced.
“When we talk to the school authorities, we are told that they have sent all the marks to CBSE and the delay is being caused by the CBSE as the school has done all that was desired from their end. However, when we approach CBSE, we are told that it is the school which is at fault. In between the two, we are helpless,and our future seems bleak,” said a student protesting at the CBSE office.
When TOI tried to contact the principal of the school, he did not pick up the call. However, a teacher of the school LK Tiwari said, “The school has sent all the marks to the CBSE and there has been some ‘communication gap’. Our principal is in touch with higher officials of CBSE in Delhi and the matter would be resolved in a couple of days.”
Meanwhile, CBSE officials made it clear that the school has been at default since the past two years and CBSE has extended all support in the larger benefit of the student fraternity.
“This school has not even submitted the list of candidates (LOC) despite the fact that the last date for the same was extended till December 2020 owing to corona crisis. In fact, CBSE had sent many reminders to the school authorities to send the LOC but they failed to comply. Not only this, they have not even submitted the marks of the students. Now, after the results are out, they want CBSE to declare the result,” said regional officer (RO), CBSE, Prayagraj, Shweta Arora.
