In the wake of coronavirus, no preventive measures were being taken at Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) Class 12 evaluation centre set up at Government Model Senior Secondary Smart School (GMSSSS), Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), on Thursday.
The centre had received 49 bundles (200 answer sheets of Class 12 students in each one). The 38 teachers of English and Punjabi were each given 200 answer sheets which they need to check within eight days. They were not wearing a mask or using a sanitiser or maintaining a distance of at least one metre between each other.
A teacher, requesting anonymity, said, “I was directed to sit in the bio lab to check the Punjabi answer sheets.”
‘HAVE GIVEN SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR CHECKING TO TEACHERS’
Principal Sanjeev Thapar said, “We have given sufficient space to the teachers to check the answer sheets and have allotted three labs for the purpose. Teachers are checking the answer sheets in physics and biology labs and marks are being uploaded by the staff in the computer lab.”
The situation is same at the rest of the three evaluation centres set up by the board in Ludhiana. Besides the centre at GMSSSS, PAU; the other three centres have been set up at Government Model Senior Secondary School (GMSSS), Model Town; Government Girl’s Senior Secondary School, Khanna; and Government Senior Secondary School (boys), Jagraon.
