The board has invited suggestions from students, teachers, parents and educational organisations on innovative ways to stop copying during exams
The state board has launched a competition and invited suggestions from students, teachers, parents and educational organisations, among others, on innovative ways to stop copying during examination. Interested individuals have been asked to submit their ideas online along with their personal details.
Ideas which are most innovative, practical and easily applicable, and involve less expenditure, will be selected as winners. While winning entries will be rewarded, these ideas are also going to be implemented in the Maharashtra Board exams scheduled in February and March 2023.
A circular, issued by the secretary of Maharashtra State Board Anuradha Oak, stated, “There are a total nine divisions via which Maharashtra State Board exams are conducted. Based on uniform guidelines issued by the state board, each division has its own action plan to catch or stop copying during exams. There is a need for coordinated efforts to ensure inclusive state-level planning for the same.”
Chairperson for the Maharashtra State Board, Sharad Gosavi, explained, “With changing times, it is important to have newer perspective to deal with cases of copying in board examinations to ensure no injustice toward students who take genuine efforts. Through this exercise, the state board will get newer perspectives from public at large so that with the existing manpower and use of technology, stringent measures can be taken.”
Gosavi shared that a task force has been formed as per the guidelines of Commissioner of Education, Suraj Mandhre, to design a new action plan to curb malpractices during board exams. Ideas that come up via the competition will be implemented as and when possible.
