New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) directed the schools under it to detect the loss of students’ education in the wake of Covid-19 and take steps to redress it. Also recommended to start the new academic session from April 1.
Conduct exams of ninth and 11th
The board said that only after this, Class IX and 11th examinations should be conducted, and during this time the Covid-19 rescue rules should be fully ensured. CBSE exam controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said these things in a letter to the principals of the schools.
Bhardwaj said, “Through these examinations, it will also help to find out the damage done to students’ education, which can be taken by the schools in the new academic session. A specially designed bridge course can be resorted to compensate for this loss. “
