The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X examination was scrapped in 2010 and replaced with the current Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) that provides for tests and grading through the year as a means to reduce pressure on students.
The issue of bringing amendments in the no-detention policy is also on the agenda of the CABE meeting.
The policy, which applies to students upto Class X at present, is likely to take into account students till Class V only for no-detention.
If the decision is taken in this regard, states may get an opportunity to devise their mechanism of re-tests for students from Class VI to VIII while beyond Class IX students may be detained if their performance is not upto the mark.
