“We will not retreat if a need arises to stop the exam and school.
However, in the current situation, all experts argue that there is no problem,” Nagesh told reporters here.
The minister said the government had monitored the situation of Covid-19 carefully every hour.
He added that the government would make alternative settings with the intention of avoiding problems.
“If we need to stop the exam.
However, the standard operating procedure is maintained very tightly in the test because we make sitting sitting to maintain physical distance,” said Nagesh.
The Minister asked people not to panic because it would have an impact on children’s academic activities.
“There is no need for people to panic because this year we started a regular school after a year of locked.
In the event that the school is closed again it will be difficult to bring back children to class,” said Nagesh.
