The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has decided to change the exam centre of 170 SSC students who were allotted seating in Ganesh Vidyalaya, which is situated bang in the middle of noisy shanties and shops and lacks sufficient fans and ventilation. The move came after a Shiv Sena legislator raised the matter in the assembly on Friday, prompting School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar to change the exam centre; mid-day had reported the issue in its edition dated March 10.
The matter came to light when the principal of the Dadar Parsee Youth Assembly High School wrote to Dr Subhash Borse, secretary of MSBSHSE, Mumbai Division, on Thursday seeking a change of exam centre. A total of 20 of 170 affected students are from Dadar Parsee Youth Assembly school. According to parents who did not wish to be identified, the centre allotted to their wards at Ganesh Vidyalaya does not have proper infrastructure. There are not enough fans, and desks are narrow and have holes, making it inconvenient to write on.
