[ad_1]
MP Su. Venkatesan mentioned the Ramzan pageant could fall on one of many days on which exams are scheduled
Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan wrote to Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and Joseph Emmanuel, Director of Academics on the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), urging them to reschedule the CBSE board examination scheduled for May 13 and 15, citing that the Ramzan pageant is to be celebrated throughout that interval.
In his letter, Mr. Venkatesan mentioned that Ramzan, an necessary pageant of Muslims, falls on May 14 this yr, in accordance to the vacations introduced by the State and Union governments. “But the date of Ramzan might change depending on the sighting of the crescent. So, there is a possibility that Ramzan festival might fall by a day earlier or later than the date that has been fixed now,” he mentioned.
Without taking this risk into consideration, the CBSE has declared board examinations for lessons 10 and 12 on May 13 and 15. Hence, Mr. Venkatesan urged the Union Minister to reschedule the board examination dates in order that Muslim college students will not be compelled to attend the board examinations on the day of Ramzan pageant.
