Children in UP secondary classes to be promoted without exams

Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has decided to promote all students in classes 6,7,8,9 and 11 to the higher class without conducting any examinations due to the nationwide lockdown.

In a letter sent to the Secondary Education Board, principal secretary education (secondary), Aradhana Shukla, has said that all examinations for the above-mentioned classes will not be held due to the corona outbreak and hence, the students in these classes will be considered promoted.

Meanwhile, the results of the UP Board examinations for classes 10 and 12 are also likely to be delayed since evaluation of copies was stopped due to the lockdown.
