In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational institutes in the state were closed from the third week of April 2021. All schools conducted online classes and most of the students were not able to attend the classes due to various reasons, the state education board said in a statement.
"There has been a considerable academic loss and it will be difficult for students as well as teachers to cover up the course curriculum," the statement added.
According to the notification, the revised course curriculum will be provided in PDF format to all the schools. The revised syllabus will also be available on the SEBA website i.e., www.sebaonline.org.
However, the board has requested teachers to teach the whole syllabus if possible so that the students can have adequate knowledge of their entire course.
