Karnataka 2nd PUC Exam: No re-exam for those leaving the examination in Hijab Controversy

Karnataka PUC II Exam 2022: Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh said the students who do not appear for the Karnataka PUC II exams due to the hijab demonstrations will not get a chance again. There is no such arrangement for those who will be absent from the examination. Nagesh said, examinations are competitive in nature, so those who are absent cannot be considered on humanitarian grounds. "Whatever the court has said, we will abide by it," he said. Whether the reason for being absent in the exam is hijab performance, poor health, being unable to appear, or not studying, it is a major fact, but not a reason.

Example Cannot Be Set

Nagesh said, to date in the history of the board, it has not happened that there has been a re-examination for those who are absent. Now an example cannot be set for this. He said that the students who will fail in the examination will get a chance to appear in the supplementary examination. The Education Minister said that if we consider on humanitarian grounds, then in future many more students will be absent due to various reasons.

Concern Over Education in Madrassas

Education Minister BC Nagesh said that the students of Madrasas in Karnataka are not getting quality and contemporary education. If the madrassa wishes, formal and uniform education will be provided to them by the government. Funds are provided to the madrassas from the minority welfare department. However, the decision on this matter will be taken after consultation with everyone.

Hearing is to be held in Supreme Court

Let us inform you that the Karnataka High Court had dismissed all the petitions filed demanding to enter the classes wearing hijab. The court had ruled that the hijab is not an essential part of Islam. In protest, many students boycotted the examination in the state. The girl students have filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the decision of the Karnataka High Court. There may be a hearing on this soon.
