Women lead all SLC exam centres in Saptari

RAJBIRAJ: All three examination centres of the School Leaving Certificate supplementary examination in Saptari district are led by women.

The Saptari District Education Office (DPO) picked women as supervisors of the examination centres at Kesho Aniruddhawati Secondary School, Pabi Higher Secondary School and Rajdevi Higher Secondary School.

The Office of the Controller of Examination began this year's SLC supplementary examinations on Wednesday.

District Education Officer Laxmi Prasad Bhattarai said the DEO picked only women this time to model that women can also lead anything if given opportunities.

"We found that examinations on the first day were conducted peacefully and decently," Chief District Officer Birendra Kumar Yadav said after monitoring the exam centres.

Meanwhile, Bhattarai said the DEO took actions against 25 examinees for violating the exam rules during the Compulsory English test today.

As many as 1,574 students are taking the supplementary SLC examination from the district this year. Most of them had failed English, mathematics or science tests during the SLC exams held in March this year.
