During the live interaction, the Education Minister will also address the queries regarding the CBSE board exam paper patterns, and syllabus reduction.
“Teachers, I am looking forward to having an insightful interaction with you all on Dec 22 at 4 PM,” Nishank had said in a tweet on Thursday.
Notably, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is also likely to announce the schedule for class 10 and 12 on Tuesday. While the Education Ministry is yet to announce the final datesheet for CBSE board exams for class 10 and 12, it has, however, clarified that the exam will be held in pen and paper mode only.
As per reports, the Education Minister will go live at 4 pm on Twitter or Facebook to discuss concerns regarding board exams with teachers. As part of the initiative to conduct exams on time during the coronavirus pandemic, the Education Minister has planned a three-way dialogue with students, parents and teachers across the country.
After social media posts claimed that the CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams 2021 will be held in March, the CBSE released a clarification stating that it is yet to finalise the CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021.
During his last webinar, Education Minister had made it clear that CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 may get delayed and it is possible that the exams may not be held in March if the coronavirus pandemic is not brought under control.
However, it is learnt that CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams question paper will be more application-based and the objective-type or MCQs could increase considerably.
Schools across the country were closed in March to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were partially reopened in some states from October 15.
