Home center demand but the board says - it is not possible

This demand has also been raised in the parliament. In the House of Representatives(HoR)) meeting held on Sunday, CPN-Maoist Center MP Shakti Basnet demanded the government arrange home centers.

He said, "The first SLC exam was called Iron Gate, now it is called SEE. Exams are starting next week, and students studying in one school, have to go to another school's exam center for the SEE exam, causing unnecessary stress to the examinees and parents during the exam. Therefore, I request the government through the Speaker to make arrangements to give the exam at the home center where he studied.

But it is not possible to make this arrangement, it has been clarified by the Examination Board Examination Control Office, Class 10. Examination Board Examination Control Office, Class 10 Examination Controller Shrestha says, 'Home center is not possible, we do not provide home center.
