Representative imageCHENNAI: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) has requested the chief ministers of state governments and Union territories to allow schools to reopen partially for the students studying in classes X and XII from January 4. This will help schools to prepare the students appearing for board exams.
"With the students physically attending school, the time will be utilised for practical work, project work and for doubt clearing lessons. This will be extremely beneficial to the students who will now get the time to interact directly with their teachers," Gerry Arathoon, chief executive and secretary of CISCE said in a release.
