He said that on March 18, the annual school examinations in the state were postponed and the schools were closed on March 19. The new academic session generally starts from April 1 every year, but it could not be done this year due to the nationwide lockdown, so students had faced many uncertainties whether or not there would be exams or when they would get admission to the next class.

The Chief Minister State that the State Government had already decided to promote all the students studying from class I to XI grade to the next classes based on the results of the examinations that took place till March 18.  He said that to ensure that students of Government and private schools in Haryana do not suffer academic loss, since April 15, new classes for 52 lakh students have been started through cable and DTH channels under the distance education program.

The Chief Minister shared that as the result dates for the Class XII students are not announced yet by the CBSE, the other competitive exams like NDA, JEE, NEET which were scheduled to be held in the months of April and May, now all the students appearing for these examinations have got a golden opportunity by getting more time to prepare their examinations in a more thorough manner.

The Chief Minister said that after Xth standard, in the month of July, about 60 to 70 thousand students take admission in 172 government and 246 private ITIs of the state and the classes start from August month, while on March 24, as all the ITIs were closed, theoretical studies were being conducted through phone and e-learning but practical subjects will start after the lockdown, the period ends.

Sharing that in ITI, there is a total of 81 trades, out of which in 30-35 trades there is a condition of passing the math and science examination in class Xth.

CM said that if more time is taken to conduct the science examination, then the State Government is considering to admit such students on a provisional basis, without appearing in science examination. He said that the final decision in this regard will be taken soon.

Similarly, the same idea has been planned for students who want to enroll in diploma after Xth grade in which both mathematics and science subjects are required to pass.

He said that private schools had been requested to take only one month fee instead of three-month advance fees and also waive off transportation charges.

Apart from this, he said that the teachers are distributing the dry ration month of April to the children at their doorsteps under the mid-day meal program.

Meanwhile, during the live address, Chief Minister telephonically interacted with some teachers, professors, and a student. During the interaction, the teachers shared that for the students having smartphones, tools and techniques used for learning included live classes with students, online worksheets, daily tips, whatsapp, PDF and YouTube links. While assistance is being given telephonically to the students who do not have a smartphone.
