KOLKATTA: In order to make sure that students do not miss out, the Government of West Bengal recently announced that it will conduct week-long virtual classes for students of classes 9 to 12 from April 7. According to Partha Chatterjee, state education minister,  students will tune in to DD Bangla channel on their TV sets every day during a fixed time where well-known teachers will give lectures on particular subjects. Students can also ask doubts by calling/mailing their queries on the number/email id displayed on their TV sets during the lectures. This has been done in order to make the lectures interactive, said Chatterjee.

Chatterjee also urged students to not believe fake messages being circulated online regarding the dates of the two remaining higher secondary level examinations. He said that the government will announce the dates of the exams after considering all aspects post-lockdown.

Meanwhile, the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) has directed all schools affiliated to it to follow directives of their respective state governments to adopt the ‘no detention policy’ for students of classes 1 to 8 in state-run and state-aided schools.
