Parents unhappy with evaluations despite syllabus cut, flood psychologists with calls
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Within hours of the Intermediate results’ announcement on Tuesday, dissatisfied parents started making enquiries on steps for revaluation of papers, recounting and supplementary exams for their wards to get better scores. Educational counsellors and psychologists received around 300 calls on the helpline number on Tuesday, mostly from worried students and parents over poor marks. We did not get any suicide calls this year, luckily.” Many parents said that they have received no support from the board or the institutions, and that students must be given grace marks due to disruptions to the academic session due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the students are worried and are in panic as to how they could fail or score low marks,” said Asif Hussain Sohail, the president of Telangana Parents Association.
