Evaluation of Plus Two examination answer sheets began on Wednesday at 56 centres across the State. Out of the 56 centres, e-evaluation of answer sheets is being carried out at 29 centres.
Around 7,000 teachers have been engaged in the evaluation process.
While the answer sheets will be evaluated in the first phase from April 4 to 14, the second phase will start on April 16 and conclude on April 26. On the other hand, members of All Odisha School College Teachers’ and Employees’ United Forum have decided to boycott the evaluation process over non-fulfilment of their demands. They resorted to picketing in front of all the 56 evaluation centres on the day trying to prevent and persuade other teachers from entering the centres.
The agitating teachers are protesting delay on the part of the State Government to issue a notification regarding withdrawal of a compulsory affidavit clause to avail grant-in-aid.
However, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) officials claimed that they have made alternative arrangements and are ready to face any kind of disruption in the evaluation process.
