Board Exams for Classes 10 & 12 have been postponed by the GBSHSE

The final exams for Class 10 (SSC) and Class 12 (HSC) have been postponed until further notice by the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE). The board will notify the board 15 days in advance of the new exam dates, according to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant. Goa's Class 10 and 12 board exams were supposed to start on April 24.

In light of the the number of COVID-19 events, opposition parties in Goa demanded that the state board's Class 10 and 12 exams, which were scheduled for April 24, be postponed or held online.

The Pramod Sawant government must postpone these exams for the safety of students, according to senior Congress leader Digambar Kamat, Goa Forward Party chief Vijai Sardesai, and Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte.
