New Delhi: With regular classes suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has suggested a 30 per cent reduction in the secondary and senior secondary syllabus to ensure “depth in learning and understanding” of students.
In a letter to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Sisodia wrote: “We need to assure every child, irrespective of social class, that they are important to us and all of them have an equal right to the physical and academic space of their schools. We need to completely push aside views that leaning will only be carried forward through online classes.”
He also proposed changes in CBSE and NCERT exams by recommending getting rid of one high-stake yearly examination for students of Classes X and XII students and moving in the direction of supplanting it with persistent evaluation, Indian Express reported.
