ICSE schools prepare to start Class XI online lessons Move follows board notice cancelling class X board exams
ICSE schools in the city are planning to start Class XI early after the council cancelled the Class X exams on Monday and advised schools to start “online classes for the Class XI students at the earliest”.
Several schools said they were planning to start either by the end of this month or in the first week of May.
Schools are considering the students’ academic performance in Class X and IX before granting them admission.
In some schools, admission tests have been conducted in science subjects and mathematics to assess the students’ aptitude.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) has cancelled exams across the country because of rising Covid-19 cases. The exams had been scheduled for next month.
The decision was taken on Wednesday and heads of schools were informed over email late in the evening.
“Following continued conversations with our schools, associations and education boards, the IB can confirm that all IB schools in India will follow the non examination route for the Diploma Programme.,” said an email sent to the heads of IB schools.
Three schools Calcutta International School, The Heritage School and Modern High School for Girls offer the IB diploma programme (for Classes XI and XII) in the city.
