The new announcement has been made after discussions with the stakeholders to ensure the students meet the learning standards in these testing times.

Last year, the state education department had reduced the syllabus of Class 1 to 12 by 25% to ensure the students must learn the remaining syllabus owing to the loss of teaching hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
