Decision was made after consultations with teachers and various stakeholders
The Department of Primary and Secondary Education has decided that there will be no cuts in the syllabus for students from Classes I to X for this 2021-22 academic year.
Speaking to The Hindu, B.C. Nagesh, Primary and Secondary Education Minister, said the decision was taken after consultations with teachers and stakeholders. “During the review meetings, teachers and department officials said that they have completed a significant chunk of the portion for this year as offline classes for upper primary classes and high schools have commenced,” he said.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
