New Delhi: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) sought permission from all States and Union Territories’ Chief Ministers to partially reopen schools from January 4, reported NDTV.
The reopening of schools would enable students to participate in practical work, project work, SUPW work and also allow them to clear doubts.
In a statement, CISCE stated that if reopened, the schools will function according to the SOPs and safety guidelines issued by the government.
The council also urged the Chief Election Commissioner to share state election dates, saying that “This will enable CISCE to finalize schedules for ICSE-Class X ISC Class XII year 2021 examinations and to ensure that there are no clash of dates, interruption of the examinations or any inconvenience that may be faced by candidates taking these examinations.”
