PANAJI: The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has said that after declaration of the Class X results for the 2021 batch, if any parents ask to verify the marks, the schools should allow the verification.
Proper explanation should be provided by the school over the allotment of marks, the Board has said.
This year, schools are forming result committees to evaluate students based on their internal assessments, after the Class X public examination was cancelled for 2021 due to the pandemic.
The Board has already provided schools with a policy to tabulate Class X marks.
On Tuesday, Goa Board provided FAQs to schools to clear any doubts over the marking scheme.
“What the schools need to do in case the parents want to view the exam copies or want to verify the marks after the board result declaration? Verification of marks should be allowed and proper explanation should be given by the Head of the committee appointed for the purpose,” the Board has said in the FAQs.
Any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated will be given an opportunity to appear in the exam to be conducted by Goa Board as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams, the Board has stated.
“If any candidate has not appeared in any of the assessments conducted by the school, the school may conduct an offline/online or a telephonic one to one assessment and record documentary evidences to certify the recommendations.
The student may be assessed objectively on that basis by the school out of maximum marks of each subject,” Goa Board has told schools.
The schools will be carrying out the assessments and submitting the marks on Goa Board’s portal.
The Board is expected to declare the Class X results by July 13.
All teachers appointed to the result committee by the school should necessarily be teachers teaching Class X for the year 2020-21, the Board has clarified.
“Can same teacher be co-opted as external member in two different neighbouring schools? No.
This may adversely affect the progress of work as well as health of the member.
Hence, one member is not allowed in two committees,” Goa Board has told schools.
