The Election Commission has exempted more than a lakh state board examiners and moderators from election duty to clear their schedules and give them time to evaluate the answer sheets of HSC and SSC students.
The junior college teachers had last month boycotted assessment of three HSC examinations in protest against the state government, demanding salary arrears among other things.
Now it is expected that 1.1 lakh examiners and moderators will be able to make up for the lost time and complete the evaluation process before June 5, the deadline set by the Supreme Court to declare the results.
"As many as 85 lakh HSC students and 1 crore SSC students took the examination. We had proposed that instead of junior college teachers, the state should look to the six lakh Std I to Std IX teachers in Maharashtra for election duty," said Anil Deshmukh, secretary of the Maharashtra State Federation of Junior College Teachers' Organisation.
Mumbai divisional board chairman, Laxmikant Pande, meanwhile confirmed the report, saying the exemption will ensure timely completion of the assessment process.
"They will be able to make up the time lost when they boycotted the assessment of the first three HSC papers, and deliver the results before the deadline," said Pande.Meanwhile, SSC students appeared for their social science paper and HSC students for the English literature exam. While no cases of cheating were reported for the HSC exam, two were reported for SSC exam in the Thane region.
