In Himachal, from the year 2025, students will also fail in classes V and VIII. After the decision of the central government, the Himachal government is also preparing to stop the no-detention policy. Students who fail in classes V and VIII will get two chances to pass the examination.
Himachal Pradesh has been opposing the no-detention policy since the decision of the no-detention policy was implemented in the country. Now, with the decision of the Center to end this policy, a new system will be implemented in the state from the upcoming academic session. Education department officials have started preparing a proposal in this regard. The matter was discussed in the departmental review meeting chaired by Education Minister Rohit Thakur at the State Secretariat on Tuesday.
The education minister was directed to prepare a proposal keeping in mind all aspects. Let us tell you that, making a big change in school education, the Central Government has abolished the no-detention policy for classes V and VIII in schools. This policy allows failing those students who are unable to pass the year-end examinations.
Department officials said that the state had decided to fail students in classes 5 and 8 during the amendment made under the Right to Education Act in 2019. Instructions were also issued to the district officials in this regard, but the instructions were not implemented. Now it has been decided to strictly implement this policy for classes 5 and 8.
