Modi Launches Exam Reform Task Force Day After Education Minister Resigns Following Student Protests
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a special task force on Friday to reform the national examination system, one day after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation.
The government has named Pralhad Joshi as the replacement minister following a departure that came after weeks of protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party over exam paper leaks. Bereaved parents of students who died by suicide stated that the cabinet changes cannot reverse the losses.
