Many students who enrolled for the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) course offered by Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) are not in a position to appear for the examination, beginning on June 2, this year.
A majority of the students, who have enrolled for the course, are primary school teachers. They joined the course aspiring for a promotion or to secure jobs in high schools and colleges with a B.Ed. degree. For students who enrolled in the course between 2018-19 and 2021-22, KSOU has scheduled the exams from June 2-13.
Since schools are reopening on May 29, the B.Ed. students would have to take leave to appear for the exams. The teachers are not sure about higher-ups in the Department of School Education and Literacy clearing their applications for leave, as this is a crucial time for government schools.
