A Report on a Seminar on ‘No Detention Policy up to VIII standard
Pali, December 5
A seminar on ‘No Detention Policy up to VIII standard was organised by the society of public schools under the chairmanship of the Education Minister. Eminent academicians from various educational institutions and school teachers participated in the deliberations held in the Seminar Hall of the Happy School. Most speakers were of the opinion that the ‘No detention Policy’ was not conducive to proper grounding of children who, as a result of this, found it difficult to cope up with studies in higher classes. Those who supported the policy advocated for its continuance, citing the inordinate pressure of performing well, that discouraged young children from studies.
