The students belonging to class 10 have been declared all pass by the TN government and it grabbed the attention of many is well known to us. Till now, there has been no clarity about the calculation of the marks for these students.
It is now revealed that the TN government has asked all the schools to collect the marks scored by these students in quarterly examination and half yearly examination in class 9. It has been brought out by a senior officer belonging to the school education department that the TN government would be deriving the class 10 marks from the class 9 quarterly and half yearly examinations.
It must be noted that many private schools have already conducted revision tests and were ready to conduct online annual examinations for the students of class 10. Point is that government and government aided schools were unable to conduct them from 19th January to 22nd March 2021.
The senior official then mentioned that there would be parity if the private schools were allowed to calculate marks from the completed examinations. He threw light on how all school managements including government schools have been asked to collect marks from the previous year.
Information collected is that the authorities would further decide whether marks could be taken on average basis in both the examinations. They might also take into account the highest marks secured by the students in either one of the exams. Truth is that if a student was absent for either of the exams then marks for the other would be taken into consideration. In case of a student failing in any subject in the quarterly exam then the marks from half yearly exam would be taken provided they have passed the exam. Minimum pass marks would be issued to the students if they failed in both the examinations or were absent.
