All schools threatening students that they will not be allowed to appear for board exams until their fees are paid must immediately stop such actions. Sharad Gosavi, the chairman of the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, has issued a stern warning to schools regarding the unjustifiable deprivation of students from taking HSC and SSC board exams due to outstanding fees.
Gosavi has cautioned schools about the consequences they will face if found guilty of withholding hall tickets or preventing students from appearing for exams. He said, “No student can be denied the opportunity to take the board examination conducted by the state board due to unpaid fees. We have recently received two complaints regarding this issue, and appropriate action will be taken. I have instructed concerned group education officers and district education officers to promptly provide hall tickets to the students and take necessary action against the schools involved.”
