Schools to hold revision classes

First few days to be used for clarifying doubts of students

After schools reopen for students of Classes IX to XII from September 1, the first few days will be dedicated to revisions and bridge courses in government and private State board schools in Tamil Nadu. Along with the announcement for a prioritised syllabus, the School Education Department had released a refresher course module for Classes II to XII, prepared by the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT), to bridge learning gaps as a majority of the children had not attended physical classes for over a year. “For students of Classes IX to XII, who will be back in school from September 1, we will have refresher courses in the initial weeks. Since it has been a long time since they attended physical classes, we will plan their schedule in a way that they do not have to sit for prolonged hours,” said G. Shanmugavel, headmaster, Government Higher Secondary School, MGR Nagar.
