CHENNAI: Schools are in a fix about how to let State board students, who were recently promoted from class 10, to pick streams in class 11 as year-end examinations have been cancelled. While the decision was made last year based on the internal performance of the students (quarterly and half yearly exams), a systemic way eludes many school heads this year. They are waiting for the government to clear the air.
P Vijayalakshmi, the principal of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Virugambakkam said that students will be allotted streams based on their preferences. We anyway do not make all decisions based on marks, but we base it on student interests. But if a student’s teacher feels that they cannot do well in a given stream, then we’ll discuss with the student and parents, she said.
