Bhubaneswar: Odisha School and Mass Education Minister SR Dash Saturday said students from Class 1 to Class 8 may be given promotion to the next class without any examination as schools have remained closed for them since March 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic.
The minister said a final decision in this regard will be taken by the government soon.
The classes for the students of Class-I to Class-8 will not reopen soon in view of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in some states.
He also said that the new academic session may not start in April this year.
