students of Std. 1 to 9 and 11 are likely to be given mass promotion in gujarat.
Due to Corona, this year, when educational institutions could not be started in Gujarat, the Department of Education, to give mass promotion to students of Std. One to nine and Std. Forms for 10th and 12th exams are being planned to be filled in January. Gujarat Education Department is considering this matter. The official announcement regarding mass promotion will be made by the Government of Gujarat. It is expected that the matter will be discussed at a cabinet meeting and an official announcement will be made.
In Gujarat, after the Diwali Corona case, the state government does not seem to be starting educational activities in schools. Earlier, the government had announced to open the school from November 23, but in the current circumstances, the possibility of opening the school building for students till the next academic session is becoming less. It turns out that this academic year will be mostly online for school students.
In another important matter, the consideration that the Gujarat government will give mass promotion to lower standard students other than the board has also started at the very early stage at the government level. While it has been announced to delay Std. 10-12 examination earlier, the year of lower standard students including primary has passed by studying at home. New rounds of corona are coming in the metros of Gujarat and also in other areas. Education department sources said that the case of Kovid-19 has spread across the state. Therefore, it is a far cry for the state government to open schools in the current academic session.
On the other hand, the government is still reluctant to start academic sessions in colleges and universities. The state government wants to wait for the status quo till the end of December. In the last three days, the number of Kovid cases has come down drastically but the number of Corona cases in Ahmedabad has crossed 50,000. Which is 24 per cent of the entire state. Corona cases are also fluctuating in some district taluka centers. In this situation, experts believe that the pre-Diwali situation will go away in another 6 weeks. Sources said there is no strong hope that Corona will be brought under control by the end of the current academic year. Until then, the Corona vaccine does not appear to be reaching the masses. Therefore, it is not advisable to open schools till the next academic session. The situation will become clear only after the summer vacation of 2021.

Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that too big arrangements have to be made to take the exams and students have to be called under certain risks. Instead the state government can give mass promotions to students. While private schools will be free to take the exam online. In another option, we will give test papers to government school students, the answers of which they can send from home. The next arrangements for the standard 10 and 12 board exams, which were earlier planned to be taken under the Covid guideline, are also likely to be announced in time. Overall, government sources believe that the current academic session will be based on online education, online exams and mass promotion.
