Jharkhand might decide to promote the students of classes 1 to 7 without any annual examination. The Education Department is likely to issue such notice to all the government schools across the state.
All the schools in the state were closed since March 2020. It s been 11 months since the lockdown has been imposed. The academic courses and classroom activities are badly impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic.

The Hemant Soren government has already taken definitive steps towards providing quality education and converting government schools into model schools in keeping with the promise made by the chief minister.
The state government has already floated tenders for infrastructure upgradation of 27 identified model schools in each district.

But very few parents have agreed to send their children to school from Monday. Some students, who were staying outside Ranchi during the lockdown, are yet to return, while some parents have shown reluctance in sending children to school due to the fear of contracting Covid-19 infection.
