Clarification follows assertion by Health Minister K. Sudhakar that he was unaware of the choice
Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa clarified on Tuesday morning that the choice on holding SSLC (class 10) exams in July was taken after adequate consultations.
He tweeted that it was not a unilateral resolution. He and different stakeholders had been consulted earlier than fixing the dates, maintaining in thoughts the protection and welfare of scholars.
This clarification comes within the context of Health Minister K. Sudhakar stating that he was unaware of the choice of the Primary and Secondary Education Department to carry SSLC exams on July 19 and 22.
On Monday, hours after Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar introduced the exam dates, Mr. Sudhakar stated that he was unaware which activity pressure the Education Department had consulted earlier than finalising the dates. “I am not aware if the Education Minister consulted the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) members before announcing the exam dates. I will consult our TAC members and speak to Mr. Suresh Kumar in this regard,” stated Mr. Sudhakar.
This had led to apprehensions concerning the two departments not being on the identical web page on conduct of exams amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hours later, Mr. Suresh Kumar issued a rejoinder stating that the Health Department had been stored within the loop and officers of the division have been, in reality, a part of the media convention the place he had introduced the exam dates.
