We believe that teachers at individual schools are able to prepare their own papers, which would prevent leaks. Many schools also lack the infrastructure to print papers on-site, increasing the risk of data leaks at photocopy centers. We request the board to conduct final exams safely but allow schools to conduct other exams on-site,” said D. Shashi Kumar, general secretary, Associated Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka.
