Hyderabad Math Exam Chaos: Missing Paper, Officials Out

Class 10 Math Exam in Hyderabad Thrown into Chaos by Missing Graph Papers, Officials Removed Miscommunication Blamed for Anxious Moments

Students taking their Class 10 Math exams in Hyderabad on Saturday faced unexpected anxiety when they weren’t provided the mandatory graph paper. The incident at a private school in Khairatabad stemmed from a lack of communication between the exam center officials and the School Education Department.

Missing Papers Discovered Mid-Exam

The center received the standard exam materials, including question papers, main answer sheets, and extra sheets. However, they failed to check for graph paper before the exam began. The issue only came to light when students requested graph paper to answer questions.

Officials Scramble, Students Adjust

After initial confusion, center officials instructed students to use their main answer sheets for any graphs. Following the exam, students raised the issue with their parents and higher authorities.

Department Takes Action

Officials took the situation seriously and removed both the chief superintendent and departmental officer from their exam duties. The department emphasized that standard procedures require center officials to verify all materials before the exam starts.

This incident wasn’t isolated. In another instance, a custodian at a center in Ranga Reddy district left during the exam to retrieve additional answer sheets from a different center. This serious lapse in protocol resulted in the custodian’s removal.

Overall, six officials were removed from exam duties on Saturday for negligence. These actions highlight the importance of proper exam procedures and ensuring students have the necessary materials to perform their best.

Exams Proceed Despite Hiccups

Despite the hiccups, the Math exams continued. A total of 4,95,293 regular students registered for the exam, with 4,93,652 attending. There were no reported cases of malpractice. Similarly, out of 6,069 private students assigned to different centers, 5,301 participated in the exam.

Telangana Government to Launch Free Breakfast Scheme for Government School Students

In a nutritious Dasara gift to government school students in Telangana, the state government is set to launch a free breakfast scheme on October 24. The scheme, called ‘Chief Minister’s Breakfast’ (Mukhyamantri Alpahara), will benefit over 23 lakh students in over 28,000 schools across the state.

The breakfast will be prepared at the school and served steaming hot to students before the morning prayer. The menu will include a variety of nutritious dishes, such as millet ‘rava khichdi’ with ‘sambar’, ‘rava pongal’ with ‘sambar’, and wheat ‘rava khichdi’ with ‘chutney’.

The scheme has been launched to address the nutritional status of schoolgoing children and alleviate the burden of working mothers. It is also expected to improve academic performance.

In addition to the free breakfast, the state government already provides free mid-day meals to government and local body school children. The meals include a variety of nutritious dishes, such as fine rice, dal, sambar, vegetable curry, legume vegetable curry, and special rice like vegetable biryani, ‘bagara’ rice, and ‘pulihora.

The government has also included eggs in the mid-day meal, which are provided to students thrice a week. The Central and State governments share the expenditure on the mid-day meal served to classes I to VIII students in 60:40 ratio. However, the State government alone bears the meal cost for classes IX and X students along with egg cost for classes I to X students.

The launch of the free breakfast scheme is a welcome move by the Telangana government. It will help to ensure that all schoolgoing children have access to nutritious food, which is essential for their physical and mental development.
