Karnataka 2nd PUC and SSLC results 2020: The second pre-university and the Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination results will be released by July last week and August first week.
As per the reports, Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar said on Monday that Karnataka 2nd PUC and SSLC results 2020 will be announced by July last week and August first week.
Rather than giving general promotion to the 10th and 12th class students as the Central Board of Secondary Education and other states have done, the Karnataka government has made a decision to hold the examination defying the coronavirus scare.
“We are trying to get the SSLC results out by the first week of August.The PUC results will be out in the last week of July,” the minister told reporters in Bengaluru.
During reports of schools increasing the school fees ignoring the government’s decision, the minister said he has got reports that 1,150 schools have simply increased their fees amid lockdown out of which action has been taken against 450 schools.
“We have directed all the schools not to increase the fees in view of the coronavirus scare. It is a peculiar year. Humanity says no one should increase fees. We have set up a helpline. If we come across such practices, we will initiate action,” Kumar said.
He said that an officer has been entrusted to investigate into the complaints against schools.
Speaking over the online classes for kindergarten students, the minister said that such classes are not allowed. Schools can hold talks twice a week with their parents about grooming their children.
Kumar said a decision to open kindergarten schools would be taken after July 5, however, conceded that most parents are reluctant to send their children to school.
He added that the government is collecting parents’ opinions and making decisions accordingly.
For education to students from Class one to Class 10, Kumar said the Centre has given guidelines, which will be followed.
“Once the committee report comes, we will formulate regulations,” Kumar added.
