COVID-induced examination experiment succeedsPanaji: The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education will continue with the two terminal examinations pattern for the forthcoming academic year 2022-23.Coming out with this information, Goa Board chairman Bhagirath Shetye told this daily that the Board had changed the pattern of its SSC and HSSC examinations, this academic year as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus pandemic.“We had split these exams into two parts: the first term exam and the second term exam; the first term exam was conducted in December 2021, while the second term exam was conducted in summer, this year,” he added, informing that this was done so that if the pandemic raised its head again during the summer of 2022 then the Board would stress on the first term exam, which was already conducted in December 2021, in order to assess the students.Shetye said that fortunately both these terminal exams went smoothly, with no student having to skip the second term exam due to COVID-19. He also said the pattern of conducting two terminal exams will be continued by the Goa Board for the next academic year, and then decision would be reached as per the prevailing situation whether to adapt it permanently or go back to the old single exam pattern.Meanwhile, the Board will announce the HSSC examination results at the beginning of the next week; it will declare the SSC exam results four to five days after the announcement of HSSC results.The Board had conducted the second term exam for SSC as well as HSSC students in April 2022.Altogether 20,594 students – 10,539 boys and 10,055 girls – had registered for the SSC exam, while 18,215 students – 8,937 boys and 9,278 girls – registered for the HSSC exam.The Goa Board chairman also said the new building of the Board will be ready by the end of June 2022.“There was a small delay in its completion due to some administrative/ technical matter,” he added.The present building of the Board is less than 30 years old, but suffers leakage during the monsoon, which necessitated construction of the new edifice.The new structure is being constructed by the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation on vacant land opposite the existing Goa Board building at Porvorim.
