Plans to open primary classes may be delayed, practicals rescheduled

NEW DELHI: Students appearing for their board examinations would, however, be allowed to write their papers as per schedule.

.all the government, government-aided, unaided recognized, New Delhi Municipal Council, Municipal Corporations of Delhi, and Delhi Cantonment Board Schools will remain closed from November 15 (Monday) to November 20 (Saturday) and online teaching-learning activities shall continue. However, the examinations for Board classes would be conducted as per CBSE schedule, Additional Director Education (School) Rita Sharma said in a circular issued on Sunday.

To avoid an unprecedented scenario arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic like last year when the board had to cancel all exams and allot marks based on previous exams, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) was slated to conduct the first of the two-term board examination beginning November.

While the examination for major papers are slated to begin on November 30, practicals and other board exams including minor subjects were scheduled to begin next week.
