On January 12, parliamentary panel suggested to the Education Ministry that a "big question bank" should be provided to Board Exams 2021 students of Class 10 and 12 in advance.
Only the Selected questions from this question bank will come in the board exams 2021. This move is suggested aiming at attenuating students' learning gap in view of the COVID-19.
Government officials referred that there could be a substantial "learning gap" due to the pandemic and also mentioned that there have been reports that a lot of students missed online classes due to Internet issues in their locality.
Members of the panel also raised their opinion about the poor families who cannot afford smartphones or laptops to access online classes.
Panel chairman BJP MP Vinay Sahasrabuddhe also suggested that the ministry should have promoted classes for various subjects through advertisements and other mediums. They said classes can be held by Doordarshan and All India Radio (AIR) on different platforms.
