A committee constituted by the Centre has favoured a slew of changes in the no-detention policy for school children, including holding of board exams in Class 8.
The panel chaired by Rajasthan education minister Vasudev Devnani has decided to recommend to the HRD Ministry not to fail students up to Class 4 while insisting on continuous evaluation in all classes.
It has decided to leave it to the state government to hold examination for Class 5. If a student fails to clear the exam and doed not show “minimum level of learning”, he will be asked to take another test a month later.
The student will be detained in the same class if he fails the second test too, a release from the Rajasthan government said. Under the no-detention policy, children are not failed till Class 8.
