Kerala CBSE School Managements' Association urges Centre to rectify anomalies in marks policy

Association says disparities in tabulation of marks will lead to injustice and cause hardship to students completing Class 10 this year

Kerala CBSE School Managements' Association has urged the Union Education Minister to rectify the disparity and deficiencies noticed by the school authorities in the policy for assessment and tabulation of marks for the Class 10 students, whose exams were cancelled in view of the pandemic crisis. It will lead to injustice and cause hardship to students who are completing studies in Class 10 this year. As per the guidelines, the subject-wise marks to be assessed for the year 2020-21 should be within a range +/-2 marks in the subjects in the reference year (previous year). However, the overall average marks for the school assessed in 2020-21 “for all the five main subjects should not exceed the overall average marks obtained by the school in the reference year”, it said.
