NEGARA ~ Jembrana regent I Gede Winasa said this week he would offer students taking national exams help from psychologists to deal with any stress.

“The national exams are a matter of life or death for some students in their last year, and stress levels are expected to be high,” he said.

“I will offer them psychologists in their schools so they won’t be harmed or harm themselves,” Winasa said during a national exam inspection at Junior High School 1 in Negara.

Winasa said he would use psychologists recruited by the local government to give counselling.
