Nearly eight years after ‘No Detention Policy’ was introduced in state schools, the Tripura government is considering re-introducing the pass-fail system in 5th and 8th standard from this academic year. “We are considering re-introduction of the pass-fail system in schools. We shall prepare students in a way that they can pass in any examinations”, Nath said. Nath said the system would not be introduced in all classes straight away since it might exert pressure on the students. Apart from other initiatives, the incumbent BJP-IPFT government has introduced CBSE syllabus and NCERT textbooks to secondary level in government schools.
