Speaking at a Central Education Advisory Council's sub-committee meeting of State Education Ministers, Vinod Tawde, Maharashtra's Minister for School Education, said that the 'No Detention Policy' should not be extended beyond Standard IV.
However, from Standard V to VIII, there should be regular exams. If the students fail in that exam then they should be given a chance to sit for re-examination within a month. If they fail to pass in the re-examination then they should be detained in that particular class.
Many states like Delhi and Rajasthan have opposed the No Dentition Policy, a decision taken to reduce pressure and students and avoid dropouts from school.
