To provide relief to the students facing problems due to closure of the schools for a long period of time due to the pandemic of Covid-19, the education department has affected a 30 percent cut in the syllabus of all classes. Though the Education Minister Arivind Pandey had announced the syllabus cut decision earlier, the formal orders were released by the department on Friday.
The home and board examination of the academic year 2020-21 would be taken on the basis of the reduced syllabus. In Uttarakhand the syllabus of National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) is followed in class I to VIII and from Class IX to XII the syllabus is decided by Uttarakhand Vidyalayi Shiksha Parishad.
