NEW DELHI:
Under the December 16 notification, students failing these classes will get one chance to retake exams within two months, with those failing the re-test required to repeat the class.
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.
Asha Prabhakar, principal of Bal Bharti Public School, Noida, and chairperson of National Progressive Schools' Conference, sees both benefits and drawbacks.
