Over the past four days, the Government of Telangana and the Broad of Intermediate Education in the state has been drawing the ire of parents and students after 20 students ended their lives duo to lousy evaluation by the Board. Not only has this issue rocked the state, but also has exposed the lack of accountability from the government. Both students and parents have come out in huge numbers and have been protesting against the faulty evaluation process which has ‘failed’ several academically well-performing students in the state.
The goof-up by the government and the Board has been so bad that those who passed with top grades in intermediate 1st year have failed in the 2nd year exams. The firm which has been awarded the contract has been blamed by the government for such faulty result processing. However, the lack of concrete response from the Government of Telangana has been annoying parents further, who are worried about their children’s careers. With this issue creating a ruckus, it has also become a topic of discussion on social media.
#InterBoardMurders is a hashtag that has been trending all day on Twitter. After TRS Working President’s response to this, asking students and parents to not panic and apply for revaluation, social media erupted in anger over his tweet. Many netizens have been asking KTR why such mistakes and errors are being committed in the first place, when students are confident of their marks. Many of them also pointed out to KTR about why the Chief Minister or the government has been quiet about the whole episode.
Additionally, media too has not highlighted this issue and so have other political parties, except for the Congress. Leaders from Congress have been demanding the sacking of Education Minister Jagadishwar Reddy who has been lackadaisical and been blaming the Board, without taking any responsibility. Unfortunately, even students have come out and vented their emotions against the government for being so careless about their future. This whole episode also explains the dire state of lack of well-trained evaluators or teachers, experienced in the subjects.
While the government has behaved in an irresponsible manner in the whole episode, it highlights how it has been trying to cover up the entire episode, without taking any action or giving hope to students and parents who are expecting action from it.
