Nagpur: Even though the Term-1 CBSE council test ends in December, the school has not received replacement costs borne by them.
Term-1 exam is unique for various reasons, but which is connected directly to expenses made by school stationery.
For the first time, the question papers for the board test were sent digitally to school for hours before the paper began.
The school will then print a copy and distribute it to students.
For the academic session of 2021-22, CBSE has divided the council test into two parts.
Term-1 is over and based on 50% of the syllabus.
Term-2 must cover 50% of the remaining syllabus but the exam date has not been announced.
A principal said, “Stationery fees and other costs must be borne by CBSE.
But until now we have not received anything.” Toi spoke with several principals and they all said CBSE needed to clean this ‘replacement problem’ because of the term -2 will come and return a similar fee will accumulate.
“Single question paper rose to 16 to 18 sheets, because we had to print only on the one hand,” said a senior school principal.
This time the question paper in the MCQ format.
“Now it’s 16 sheets for one student.
Imagine for a center with 150-200 students and it’s also for one subject.
At all Term-1 papers succeeded, we accumulate a big cost for the exam,” said the principal.
Other principals say that in addition to stationery, there are other fees.
“We have to make sure that the copier / printing machine is quite available.
Power reserves need to be ready so there is no delay during the same test throughout the country, so that’s another investment.
While CBSE won’t pay us for machines, which can be understood, we don’t know the reason The delay gives us payments for stationery, “said the principal.
Some schools even reached the CBSE regional office in Pune, but it didn’t work.
Toi tried to get a word from the CBSE headquarters in Delhi, but top officials did not respond.
The school has not been replaced for the SMS-1 CBSE test fee
