Mumbai: BMC on Monday directing the school not forcing 1-8 grade students to carry out offline exams.
BMC Education Officer Rajesh Kankal has directed the State Council and non-state school to provide online choice to students.
Class 1 to 8 is under BMC.
At present, all schools are doing hybrid classes.
Parents have complained that some schools force children to write a test in the physical classroom.
The principal said while the offline class had seen more than 60% of attendance after reopening on January 24, when it comes to the exam, the majority would choose an online option.
Because policies do not fail to apply to grade 1 to 8, students are assessed by testing cycles, semesters and final examinations.
While most schools continue with online assessment of elementary school students, they want to do physical exams for the secondary.
“We want to do an offline exam for 8th grade students too.
The next two years are very important for them and only the pen-and-paper exam will help assess their performance,” said the principal in Andheri.
Class 9 to 12 is under the scope of the State Education Department and the exam must be done in hybrid mode.
The state, however, has not disturbed the behavior of the exam.
With the SSC examinated offline next month, most schools conduct preliminary examinations in physical classrooms.
“Most students take offline initial examinations.
Parents must understand the importance of offline exams and encourage children to write physical papers,” said the Principal of the Matunga School.
The principal said conducting a test in hybrid mode it would be difficult and they would stick to all students who used the online exam.
“If some take the online exam, it will be unfair to bring it offline.
We will undergo an online exam for all students to 9th grade,” said the principal of Andheri.
This academic year, schools have conducted cycle tests and online semester exams.
The majority are looking at the final offline exam.
The school has asked the state to eliminate with a hybrid model.
