With assembly elections less than a week away, schools are now busy reworking their exam schedule as many of them have been asked to vacate their premises for three days October 13, 14 and 15 for the assembly elections. For most schools, this means that they will to postpone their exams, and they are not too happy about it.

“The election commission (EC) is simply taking our time and efforts for granted. Not only are our teachers tied-up with election duty, now we cannot conduct any exams for three days now because our school will be an election centre,” said Ramakant Pandey, principal of Bansidhar Aggarwal High School in Wadala. The principal added that with election work going on till October 15 evening, schools might not reopen the next day as well.
