Teachers have questioned the education minister's diktat on distributing aptitude test results before March 22 as since its introduction, they have been released along with SSC results.

The state government had suddenly declared that aptitude test report cards should be distributed to students before March 22, the day the SSC examination finishes. "In addition, teachers have to give the report cards to students at their Std X exam centres, and take their signatures, noting that they have received their results. In many schools, written examinations will begin now. More so, assessment for SSC has also started," said Jalindar Sarode, general secretary of Shikshak Bharati. Teachers are now more annoyed with additional responsibility.
