The majority of students come from low-income families. The move "clearly demonstrates that the government is insidiously making education unaffordable for them," said DTF president Vikram Dev, according to the newspaper. The teachers' union also demanded that the exam fee be refunded. "All preparation to conduct the exam and question papers were printed," PSEB Chairman Yograj stated. "However, because of Covid-19, it was not held," the chairman informed the news portal.
He also defended the board's choice to collect exam fees, claiming that a soft copy of PSEB Class 10, 12 mark sheets is available for free on Digilocker to download. The hard copy is not required, hence the board is collecting Rs 800, according to the article. "A cost of Rs 94 crore was paid for Punjab school board exams that were never held. Fees must be repaid to students, and a paper copy of the certificate must be provided free of charge," the DTF tweeted.
