What Education Minister Said:
“After several rounds of consultations with various stakeholders, we have finalised the assessment mode and the policy for tabulation of marks for Std.12th HSC board students. Given the pandemic situation, the state board is permitted to pass all students,” Gaikwad tweeted.
“It is no doubt an ad-hoc arrangement but one that attempts to capture the spirit of continuous assessments using credible data points. It also offers some semblance of ‘normal times’, with computation of Std.10th,11th marks based on assessments held during pre-Covid times,” Gaikwad added.
This year, more than 14 lakh students have registered for the Maharashtra Board class 12 examination. Earlier, the government of Maharashtra had granted permission to the Maharashtra education board to pass all the Class 12 students this year after the Maharashtra HSC Exams 2021 were cancelled by the government in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Maharashtra Board has asked schools to constitute a Result Committee headed by the college principal and comprising six teachers who will be responsible for finalisation of results and safe keeping of records.
According to a News18 report, Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad said, “Maharashtra has been pushing for a uniform assessment formula across India for Std 12th. Opting for an evaluation method similar to the one devised by central education boards will certainly help.” She adds, “The task is challenging but I am confident that our colleges, teachers will live up to the task”
