    What's the story

    The Ministry of Human Resource Development on Wednesday directed the Central Board of Secondary Education to promote all students of Classes I-VIII to the next class due to the coronavirus outbreak.

    The Ministry also said students of Classes IX and XI will be promoted on the basis of their school assessments while Class X and XII Board examinations will be held for select subjects.

    Details

    'CBSE committed to academic welfare of students'

    HRD Minister Ramesh 'Nishank' Pokhriyal announced that the CBSE has been advised to promote all Class I-VIII students. The advisory has been issued in consultation with the NCERT.

    The CBSE said, "The Board is committed to the academic welfare of its students; therefore, the Board is constantly assessing the situation and is keen to mitigate the anxiety of the students, parents, and schools."

    History

    Earlier, Board exams between March 19-31 were postponed

    Earlier, the CBSE was unable to conduct all the examinations in light of the coronavirus outbreak.

    The Board was also unable to conduct exams on four examination days (six examination days for some districts) due to the violence in Northeast Delhi in February.

    The Board had eventually postponed all examinations to be conducted between March 19 and March 31.

    For CBSE-affiliated schools located in 25 other countries—also under lockdown—the Board has decided to "not hold any more exams" for Class X and XII.

    The Board said that due to the current circumstances, it has also been unable to continue evaluation work. It said that the restart of evaluation may not be announced at this stage and will give three-four days' notice in advance.
