As the time for sitting for examinations comes near, students are reluctant to appear in-person to have their skills tested. Hence, many have taken to social media to voice their concerns.
Today, various students took to Twitter to call on their educational institutions to hold online exams – just like they had held online classes. Their main concern is the increasing number of coronavirus cases and the fear of being infected by the virus, as the country grapples with a second wave of infections.
Pakistan has recorded 1,629 cases in the last 24 hours, 23 deaths, and 2,414 recoveries from the pandemic. The overall infections have reached 534,041, across the country while the death toll has climbed to 11,318.
