Press Release of CBSE on different Examinations
In view of the prevailing extraordinary circumstances of the worldwide spread of COVID-19 and the countrywide lockdown, and in view of the queries raised by our stakeholders regarding the academic future of students, the Board advises/informs all schools affiliated to the Board as follows as a one-time measure:
1. For classes 1 to 8: All students studying in classes 1 to 8 maybe promoted to the next class/grade. This advisory is being issued in consultation with NCERT.
2. For classes 9 and 11: It has come to our notice that though several schools affiliated to CBSE have completed their examination, evaluation and promotion process for students who were studying in grades 9 and 11 in the 2019-20 academic session, there are several schools that have not been able to do so. This includes among others, Kendriaya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, State/UT government schools, private schools, schools located in India and abroad, etc. All such schools are advised to promote students of grades 9 and 11 to the next grades on the basis of all the school-based assessments including project work, periodic tests, term exams, etc. conducted so far. For any child who is unable to clear this internal process, (in any number of subjects), the school may utilise this period for providing remedial interventions, and school may give the opportunity of appearing in school-based test/s, online or offline. The promotion of such children may be decided on the basis of such tests.
3. Schedule for class 10 and 12 board exams: With regard to rescheduling board examinations for classes 10 and 12, it is informed that at this stage it is difficult for the Board to decide and announce the new schedule for examinations. However, it is informed that any decision that the board will take with regard to the conduct of examinations will be taken by undertaking extensive consultation with higher education authorities and by keeping all aspects related to entrance exams, admissions dates, etc. in mind. In this context, it is further informed that the Board will give notice of about 10 days to all stakeholders before starting the Board examinations.

Make masks at home & avoid shortage

Make masks at home to overcome shortage
Posted On: 02 APR 2020 1:41PM by PIB Mumbai
With the outbreak of Covid 19, shortage of face masks and hand sanitizers has become a stark reality. As anxious public frantically shop for hygiene products, in particular mask and hand sanitizers, the sudden increased demand has met with shortage of supply.
Shops and services are demanding that the customers use face mask. In some shops the patrons are denied services for not using the face mask. Many health experts are also suggesting that use of face mask in public spaces could reduce the spread of infection. Wearing of masks is especially recommended for people living in densely populated areas.
To overcome the situation, the Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India on Tuesday issued the manual on homemade masks: The guide is meant to provide a simple outline of best practices to make, use and reuse masks to enable NGOs and individuals to self-create such masks and accelerate widespread adoption of masks across India. The key criteria for proposed designs are Ease of Access to Materials, Easy of Making at Home, Ease of Use and Reuse.
Universal usage of Home Made Masks is also expected to reduce demand for N-95 and N-99 masks, which are mainly meant for frontline healthcare workers battling Covid 19.
