'No-detention' scrapping draws mixed responses

Hindustan Times Bengaluru

December 24, 2024

The Centre's decision to abolish the 'no-detention policy' for classes five and eight has drawn varied responses from school principals and parents in Delhi, where the Directorate of Education had already implemented similar changes for the 2024-25 academic session.

School leaders largely support the move. "This is definitely a good and prompt decision since all kids being promoted was creating issues in the higher classes," said Tania Joshi, principal of the Indian School.

She noted that students often struggle in class IX due to weak foundations when facing the possibility of failure for the first time.
