With the classes for a majority of primary and upper primary class students being held online in the last year due to the pandemic, several students and parents were apprehensive about the annual exams that would be held this year. However, addressing these concerns, the Gujarat State Government has decided to come to aid to students and decided to offer mass promotion to them.
All school students from Class 1 to Class 8 will be promoted to the next academic grade regardless of the marks they score in the annual exam. This one time relaxation has been offered to the students in the light of the pandemic situation and school closures during the last one year.
Putting an end to the cycle of rumours and speculations, the Gujarat State Education Minister confirmed the decision of the state government to mass promote primary and upper primary students to next grade.
Jitu Vaghani took to twitter to make the formal announcement saying that the State Education Department has decided to offer mass promotion to all students of Class 1 to 8. In line with this decision, students will be promoted to the next class or academic grade irrespective of their academic performance in the annual exam.
The official notification published by the Gujarat Government notes that the decision has been made by the government in the interest of a large number of students.
