The board said that it has noticed some of the affiliated schools started their academic session early in the year. Starting the academic session early leads to burnout of students, it said. “Attempting to complete an entire year’s worth of coursework in a reduced timeframe poses risks for students who may get overwhelmed and struggle to keep up with the pace of the learning, leading to anxiety and burnout,” CBSE argued in the official notice.
The board further said that commencing the session early also results in lack of time for extracurricular activities. “Furthermore, it leaves little or no time for extracurricular activities such as life skills, value education, health and physical education, work education, and community service, which as just as important as academics,” it said.
