Tamil Nadu School Education minister K A Sengottaiyan said on Saturday a detailed report on reduced school syllabus would be submitted to Chief Minister K Palaniswami on November 30. It has been seen as an attempt to clear the confusion on following syllabus for schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Educational institutions remains closed since March due to the Covid-triggered lockdown. Though the government allowed reopening of schools for Classes 9-12 recently, the decision has been withdrawn due to opposition from various quarters over fears of coronavirus. Education Minister Sengottaiyan told reporters in Gobichettipalayam in Erode district that a detailed announcement about the report will be made within five days of handing over the report to the chief minister. He stated that the department would submit the syllabus reduced by about 40 to 50 percent to Palaniswami on Monday.
The report on a move to conduct half yearly exams online was denied by the minister. An 18-member panel, constituted by the government to look into the aspect of reducing the syllabus for the 2020-21 academic year in view of closure of schools due to COVID-19, had already submitted its report.
