The Maharashtra government on Tuesday announced a move, allowing teachers, moderators and officials involved in the assessment of Class 10 and 12 exam papers to travel for official work during the COVID-19 lockdown. This will help students who appeared for the SSC and HSC examinations, the results of which will be announced by June 10.
In a government resolution, the school education and sports ministry said teachers, moderators, contractors hired for transporting exam papers and officials involved in related works will be allowed to travel during the lockdown with prior permission.
Additional chief secretary Vandana Krishna also stated in the GR that officials of the state education board will be allowed to conduct investigations at exam centres where complaints of violations had been reported.
