AGARTALA, April 23 (TIWN): Tripura Education Minister Ratanlal Nath on Thursday has hinted that the syllabus of the ongoing session may be shortened.

This decision came following CBSE which is also thinking over the situation of COVD19 effects on Education system.

Ratanlal Nath said that it is not possible to complete 12 month’s syllabuses by a short time, but Govt of Tripura is following CBSE and waiting for its decision.

It can be noted here that despite no official confirmation available from the CBSE itself, news of the board reducing its prescribed syllabus for classes 9-12 is doing rounds on internet. The discussion over CBSE's plan to reduce syllabus came after the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), an autonomous organisation that advises the government on qualitative improvement in education, released an academic calendar for classes 1-8, naming it an alternative academic calendar to provide students and parents with multiple alternative ways of learning at home through interesting activities.
