Pune: After dna reported a story in which parents had cried foul that the Bishop School had kept the assessment on the very next day of Eid, the school clarified in their version on Friday that the Hindi exam which was scheduled on July 30, was rescheduled on August 2014, and the notice was given to the students on July 24 regarding the rescheduling of the assessment.

Principal, Frank Freese in his statement, stated that the assessment of Hindi subject which was rescheduled on August 2, has now been postponed, and parents will be informed of the rescheduled date subsequently.

It would be difficult for them to come on the same day.
