Govt. had decided to hold a combined revision exam
With the School Education Department announcing that a combined revision exam will be held instead of quarterly and half-yearly exams this year, teachers in government schools are still awaiting a detailed schedule for the same.
A government school teacher handling science for classes XI and XII said that despite reduced syllabus, at least three rounds of revision exams should be held so that students can be tested in all lessons. “These exams need to be accommodated ahead of the board exams and it will be convenient only if a schedule for the same is released at the earliest,” he said.
State board schools have been waiting for clarity on annual exams for classes X, XI and XII.
