With due respect, may I bring a very important point to your kind notice? I would remain grateful if you could spare some time to go through the point. I am ready to discuss the matter with any officials related to the matter. This is regarding the routine/ schedule of the next HSC exams.
The parents of HSC examinees are really worried about the schedule of the upcoming HSC exams published earlier. Any conscious citizen of the country can easily guess that the political situation during the next few months will be more critical. There is every possibility that hartals will be called on Thursdays or Sundays during the next HSC exams. And if that happens, the authorities will have to reschedule the date of the HSC exams after every hartal, as is being done now in case of SSC exams.
It would be better if the routine is revised now keeping in mind the uncertain political situation. It is recommended that exams should be scheduled on Mondays. If hartal is called on Monday, the particular exam of Monday can be rescheduled on Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturdays only.
Another point is, exams should be arranged in such a manner that the examinees will get adequate gap in between two subjects. It is not wise to have a gap of about one month before an exam (as happened in case of Maths for Science students).
I may mention here that I had been associated with teaching in universities for quite a few years and from that experience, I am projecting this point for the benefit of examinees.
I, on behalf of the examinees and guardians, would request you to do something positive about it.
