In 2009, the Right To Education Act introduced the 'no-detention policy' under which the students up to class 8 had to be promoted. To ensure quality education, Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation was introduced, but it was scrapped in 2017 due to poor implementation.
In 2019, the Delhi government had approved the formation of a committee to look into the removal of the no-detention policy, after Parliament amended the Act.
Ab nahi hai no fail policy
If a child is unable to pass class 5 or 8, he/she will get another chance to improve the performance within two months through re-examination, the new assessment guidelines of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT)
In order to be declared "pass" at the end of the session, a student must secure at least 33 per cent marks in each subject, according to the guidelines.
The promotion is also subject to the condition that minimum 25 per cent marks must be scored in mid-term plus annual examinations
In order to be declared "pass" in the re-examination, the student will have to secure at least 25 per cent marks in the subject(s), and if not, he or she will be placed in the "essential repeat" category -- which means the candidate will be held back in the same class for next session.
