Chauphe\nNews :<\/strong> Independent English Schools Association (IESA), a\nPune-based association of budget schools of state board with pan-Maharashtra\npresence, has unanimously decided to stop automatic promotion of all students\nwho fell into the “absent” category. The decision to this effect was<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association’s decision has, however,\nstarted getting flak from allround when one of the members of parents’\nassociation, reacting to this, said he is not convinced with the idea of not\npromoting students to the next class. “I think this is nothing but an\nalibi of collecting full pending fee from parents,” Yogesh Pathare,\nnational coordinator of Rashtriya Shikshak Palak Sanghatan, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even\nthe current law prohibits schools to hold back students in the same class till\nStd VIII. If the student fails in the exam then a reexam has to be taken after\nremedial classes but they can’t be held back at any cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IESA\npresident Rajendra Dayma, a trustee of school in Jalna district, said, “We\nhave noticed that between 10-15% students have not attended classes at all.\nEven though online classes were going on, such students neither attended the\nclasses nor did their parents respond to any communication by schools.\nPromoting such students to a higher class will be detrimental for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dayma\nfurther said, \u201cThe students who do not have any foundational base of previous\nclass, how can they be promoted to the next class? There’s an entire year’s\nacademic gap. The child won’t be able to cope with the new concepts being\ntaught in the next class.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nalso shared an experience of a member school of last week, which prompted them\nto think about this issue. “A parent had stopped communication with the\nschool since August 2020. His child did not attend even a single class, even\nthough online facility was available. But last week the parent came and said\nthat the child had been home-schooled and is ready to appear for final\nexamination of school,” Dayma said while quoting the parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nschool refused to allow the child to appear for the final examinations. \u201cThese\nare the reasons the association decided to take the tough stance. Parents must\nunderstand that trying to push their kids without any strong base is going to\nbe harmful for them in future,” Dayma said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nalso clarified majority of these parents happen to be those who have not paid\nfees. Dayma said, \u201cNow, many of them are coming back saying take 25-40% of the\nfee but allow their kids to sit for final examinations. But it’s not about the\nfee issue at all, it’s unethical for us to allow any student to appear for a\nfinal exam without them having attended any classes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
