The lack of clarity on the conduct of examination and missing the fun of going school has left students of senior secondary classes anxious and perturbed.

For Jasnit (name changed), a Class XII student, sitting at home due to the lockdown has killed the joy of meeting friends at school and hampered her preparation. “I had never imagined in my life that I would be so unlucky and will not be able to enjoy the best years of my school life. Students of Classes XI and XII have to plan their academic future but the pandemic has changed everything. We are not able to meet our friends, teachers. And now after the exams, new chapter of our journey starts and we all will never meet again,” she said.

Jasnit is not alone, many other students like here feel disappointed over the present scenario in which they are unable to go to school, enjoy the last years of their school life. They feel that almost 15-16 months have passed since they are sitting at home, with nothing much to do.

One of the teachers of a reputed school here said students are frustrated and disappointed these days. “We had completed their syllabus during tuitions but still the students look confused. Again they are approaching us for taking their tuitions. Parents, teachers should act as pillar of strength for the students,” said the teacher.
