DSEK Issues Strict Warning to Private Schools Against Violating Summer Vacation Norms

DSEK Issues Strict Warning to Private Schools Against Violating Summer Vacation Norms

The Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has issued a strong directive to all recognised private schools in the Kashmir division, warning them against compelling students or teachers to attend school during the ongoing summer vacation period. The move comes after reports surfaced that certain private institutions were violating established norms by engaging students and staff in academic or extra-curricular activities during the officially declared vacation.

In an official circular (No: DSEK/CEW/25/3286-93) dated 26 June 2025, the Directorate expressed concern that such practices undermine the very purpose of summer breaks, which are meant to provide essential rest and recuperation for both students and teachers.

Key Highlights of the Circular:

  • No student or teacher shall be compelled to attend school during the summer vacation.
  • Participation in any academic or extra-curricular activities is strictly prohibited during this period.
  • Any violation of these instructions will be taken seriously and invite strict action under the law.

The circular has been widely circulated among education authorities including the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Secretary to the Government School Education Department, Deputy Commissioners, Joint Directors (Central/North/South), and Chief Education Officers for strict compliance.

The Directorate has made it clear that deviations from the circular will not be tolerated and necessary legal action will be initiated against violators.

This step reaffirms the government’s commitment to student and teacher welfare, especially during the harsh summer months in the region.

CBSE Class 10 Board Exams to Be Held Twice a Year Starting 2026; First Attempt Mandatory

CBSE Class 10 Board Exams to Be Held Twice a Year Starting 2026; First Attempt Mandatory

The Central Board of Secondary Education has approved the norms for conducting board exams twice a year for Class-10.

Students of Class 10 will get an opportunity to sit for board exams twice from academic year 2026-27 onwards, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) stated on Wednesday (June 25, 2025).

CBSE’s decision is in line with the National Education Policy 2020 recommendation that to further eliminate the ‘high stakes,’ aspect of Board Exams, all students be allowed to take Board Exams on up to two occasions during any given school year, one main exam and one for improvement, if desired.

Explained: CBSE proposal to conduct two Board exams a year for Class 10 students

The Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE has prepared a draft policy to allow Class 10 students to take their board exams twice starting from 2026. | Video Credit: The Hindu

Rahul Singh, CBSE Chairman said, “While it is mandatory for students to appear in the first board examination which will be conducted in mid-February, all students who pass the first board examination and are eligible will be allowed to improve their performance in any of the three subjects out of Science, Mathematics, Social Science and two language papers. The second exam is purely optional and additional in nature.”

Second exam optional

Officials stated that results of the mandatory first examination will be declared in the month of April. “The second exam [which will be the improvement exam] will be conducted in the month of May and its results will be declared in June. Students can choose to sit for the improvement exam after reviewing their scores in the first exam,” Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, Controller of Examinations, CBSE explained.

CBSE officials stated that since 2019 the national board has been offering an opportunity for students to write an improvement exam for any two subjects (including vocational subjects like singing and so on). However, in the new scheme proposed by CBSE, students can sit for an improvement exam only in three of the aforementioned academic subjects. “When we analysed the results database, we realised that students were already scoring decent marks in vocational subjects, and a need was felt for offering improvement exams in academic subjects. Offering an improvement exam in up to three subjects will offer students a 60 per cent opportunity to enhance their scores,” Dr Bhardwaj added.

Officials also said that if a student has not appeared in three or more subjects in the first mandatory board exam, then s/he will not be allowed to appear in the second (improvement examination).

“This is to ensure that students do not go opportunity shopping and take the first mandatory board exam seriously,” Mr. Singh emphasised.

Dr Bhardwaj told The Hindu that those students who do not appear or fail in three or more subjects will be placed in the ‘Essential Repeat,’ category and can take the main exam only in the next academic year. “Whereas, for students who do not appear or fail in one or two subjects will be placed in the Compartment category and will be allowed to appear in the second [improvement)] examination,” he said.

Officials also said that CBSE students get three attempts to clear ‘Compartment,’ status. “For the academic year of 2025-26, compartment exams will happen as usual in July and results will be declared in August. However, from 2026-27 onwards, the first compartment attempt exam will be merged with the newly proposed the second exam (improvement exam) and will occur earlier in June. There will be no more exams in July,” Mr. Singh explained.

For Compartment students the second attempt will coincide with the ensuing year’s main board exam, and their third attempt will yet again coincide with that year’s improvement exam schedule.

Mr. Bhardwaj also said that students who have passed by replacement of the subject, but want to improve their performance in the subject in which they did not pass will be given an opportunity to sit in the second improvement exam. “For instance, if a student did not pass in Maths, and passed by appearing for a replacement subject, s/he will get an opportunity to pass in Maths too, if it is mandatory for the student to show passing marks in Maths for pursuing higher studies,” he explained.

“The subject-wise remedial plan with timelines prepared by the concerned teachers should be strictly adhered to and followed in letter and spirit,” it said.

DSEK further said that the Heads of Institutions shall ensure that remedial teaching focuses intensively on subjects and topics identified and monitor it on daily basis with written records.

“Detailed remedial schedules shall be displayed on the school notice boards for information of students, parents and monitoring institutions and teachers engaged for remedial classes shall adopt interactive and student-friendly teaching methods, assess the progress of students regularly, and maintain comprehensive records of attendance, lesson dairies with topics covered, and student assessment and improvement,” it reads.

DSEK further said that the parents shall be sensitized and motivated to ensure that their wards atterid the remedial classes regularly and make full use of this additional academic support.

“Cluster Heads shall personally monitor the conduct and quality of remedial classes by visiting schools periodically. Daily monitoring reports, along with photographs and performance reviews, shall be submitted to Cluster Heads and respective DIETs without fail,” DSEK said.

The directorate further ordered that the DIETs shall closely monitor the process and submit reports to SCERT on weekly basis.
”Non-compliance of the instructions or any laxity in the conduct of remedial teaching shall be viewed seriously and strict disciplinary action shall be initiated against the erring officials and teachers.”

NCDC Core Committee Stresses Revival of Reading Habits Among Children

New Delhi: June 24: In its latest core committee meeting, the National Child Development Council (NCDC) passed a key resolution centered on reviving reading habits among children, emphasizing its role in holistic development and as a tool for diversion from digital distractions and negative influences.

The meeting, led by the senior members of NCDC, witnessed an interesting debate regarding the decreasing culture of reading among students owing to the increase in screen time and mobile use. The committee did recommend inclusion of reading-based activities in the curriculum and teacher training courses to restore the culture of reading at schools and homes.

Important Points Discussed:

Inspiration with Creativity: Members shared ideas on inspiring children to write poetry, publish short books, and take part in literary activities from a young age. An example was mentioned of a student’s poem being adopted as the school opening ceremony song, highlighting the power of young minds.

Reading Against Drug Abuse: Reading was also set as a key component in anti-drug campaigns, serving to deflect students away from destructive influences by exposing them to worthwhile and imaginative endeavors.

Teachers as Role Models: Many members stressed the role that teachers play in building reading culture. “Only a teacher who reads passionately can pass on the same to their students,” opined Shakila Wahab, calling for reading habits to be incorporated in teacher training programmes.

Books Beyond Textbooks: Core members concurred that reading should go beyond textbooks. They recommended the incorporation of novels, comics, and age-literate literature to promote language skills, creativity, and critical thinking.

Curriculum Integration as a Solution: Mohammad Rizwan emphasized incorporating reading programs in the formal syllabus, contending that without structural integration, it would be challenging to direct today’s digital-native generation toward books.

Family and Environmental Influence: Ananthi suggested that reading habits need to be imitated in front of kids at home and in school. “Reading aloud and enjoying the process can encourage children to emulate and participate,” she said.
