WHAT HAPPENED
Indian police fired tear gas at protesters in Jharkhand state, who were seeking exam reforms, according to BBC News. The protests involved thousands of students and job seekers. This incident comes weeks after similar protests, referred to as the 'cockroach' protests, took place in Delhi.
The protests are reportedly in response to issues with leaked exam papers and resits, which have caused significant pressure on students, with some even taking their own lives, as revealed by parents of Indian students, according to The Guardian. The unrest has spread to Jharkhand, as noted by Deutsche Welle, indicating a broader discontent with the current exam system.
The context of these protests highlights the ongoing challenges and pressures within India's education system, with the recent events underscoring the need for reforms to prevent such tragedies and address student grievances.
