CBSE also has not sent any circular directly to the schools to celebrate Children's Day
Chennai: As part of the ongoing project by the MHRD to develop the National Education Policy (NEP) 2016, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has in its online form for stakeholders asked parents’ opinion on several issues like whether six hours of school would be adequate for holistic and wholesome education of a student.
The online form for parents includes questions such as, does extra tuition improve and support school learning in all classes and is doing homework necessary to improve learning.
Teachers have been asked whether they were satisfied with no detention policy up to class VIII. The board has asked stakeholders to send their replies by Nov. 9.
Asked about online opinion form, J.Ajeeth Prasath Jain, senior principal of Bhavan’s Rajaji Vidyashram in the city. said “the current system of six hour schooling would be enough as we need to give kids time for other activities too.”
Adding to Jain’s view, S. Arumainathan, president, Federation of Tamil Nadu Students’ Parents’ Welfare Association, welcomed CBSE’s effort to get stakeholders views and said six hours of schooling would be adequate for a student. “Schools should not encourage giving homework to kids,” he said.
