NEW DELHI: After various incidents of suicides by students in Mumbai and Delhi in the past one week, the central government Thursday said it was concerned over the increasing exam pressure on school children.

 

"There is huge burden on students. The government is concerned about it," Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters here.

 

He, however, declined to comment on individual cases of student suicide. "It is not appropriate to make any comment on individual cases."

 

The minister said the examination system needs reforms to avoid such incidents.
