Karnataka Bandh 22 March: The Karnataka Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) exams were scheduled for March 21, but no Karnataka SSLC exams 2025 are planned for March 22, the day of the bandh, reports claimed.
Meanwhile, Karnataka education minister Madhu Bangarappa said children may face problems if there is no public transport available during the bandh.
The decision on whether Karnataka schools will remain open or closed will depend largely on the participation in the bandh and the availability of safe transportation for students.
Speaking about the Karnataka Bandh tomorrow and the school closure, Bangarappa was quoted by News 18 Kannada as saying, “No decision has been taken yet to close schools. I will hold a meeting with the home minister and transport minister in the afternoon. I will announce the decision based on what they say.”
“It is not possible to open the school without transport and security. There is a validation test tomorrow. So we are ready to postpone it. But we will take a decision after seeing the decision of the Home Department and the Transport Department,” he reportedly said.
