In view of the recent surge in coronavirus cases in Gujarat, the state government on Thursday decided to cancel the state board exams for Class 10 students and give them mass promotion to the next grade. The decision to grant mass promotion to regular Class 10 (SSC) students of the Gujarat Secondary Education Board was taken by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani in the larger interest of pupils and save them from getting infected with coronavirus, said a government release. રાજ્યના ધોરણ-10 એસ.એસ.સી.ના વિદ્યાર્થીઓના વિશાળ હિતમાં આજે મહત્વપૂર્ણ નિર્ણય લીધો.કોરોના સંક્રમણની પ્રવર્તમાન સ્થિતિને ધ્યાને લેતાં ધોરણ-10 એસ.એસ.સી.માં નિયમિત (રેગ્યુલર) વિદ્યાર્થીઓને આ વર્ષ પૂરતું માસ પ્રમોશન આપવાનો નિર્ણય આજે મળેલી કોર કમિટીમાં લીધો. A decision regarding "repeaters", students who had failed in earlier attempts and were slated to again appear for exams this year, will be taken after assessing the situation once COVID-19 cases drop, said the release. Notably, the state government has already granted mass promotion to the students of Classes 1 to 9 and also Class 11 in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has triggered a slew of restrictions on movement of people and non-essential activities in the state.
