Mamata Banerjee opposes semester system for Classes 1 to 5 in West Bengal

India Today  

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday vetoed the West Bengal primary education board's proposal to implement a semester system for government-aided primary schools, citing concerns about increased study load on young students. In a televised review meeting at Nabanna, Banerjee criticised Education Minister Bratya Basu for the decision, stating it lacked prior consultation at the government’s highest level. The proposed system, announced by the board on December 27, is intended to introduce six annual assessments -- two semesters of three exams each --replacing the current system of three evaluations per year. The logistical challenges of implementing such a system for 50,000 primary schools were also highlighted.
