Tiwari slams Delhi govt for seeking breather from class-X

Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari today said the AAP government by seeking a breather for the students of its schools from class X Board exams has revealed the "poor standard" of its education infrastructure.
"The ruling AAP had been demanding CBSE to reintroduce board exams for Class X students, but now when it has decided to switch back to it, Manish Sisodia reportedly wants exemption for students of Delhi government schools," he said.
The Delhi government has sought a breather of two years from Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for making mandatory Class X examination saying the students aren't prepared for the "tough test".

CBSE had recently announced that the Class X exams will be mandatory again from next academic session. The decision was taken after the optional tests and automatic promotion policy came under criticism for "lowering" the level of students' knowledge.
Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, in his budget speeches had claimed Delhi government has the highest budgetary provision for education, Tiwari said.
"Sisodia knows that once the Board exams are brought back the hollowness of Kejriwal's claims of having the best educational infrastructure will be revealed. So he is trying to delay introduction of Board exams for two years so that the AAP government completes its term," he claimed.
