The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) announced that preschool children should not be made to sit for examinations — written or oral. It also says that they should not be categorised as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. According to the body, exams are a harmful practice, which is often a result of misguided parental aspiration. Instead, the body wants children to make a song and dance of learning. In its recommendations, it asked schools to engage students in<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/education/ncert-advises-schools-to-play-age-appropriate-songs-during-lunch-breaks-6060422/"> ‘age-appropriate</a>’ songs during meal breaks — as music leads to better receptivity. NCERT instead wants teachers to observe children closely, and make them aware of their habits and social relationships. “Currently we have in the country, pre-school programmes ranging from those that put children to a dull and monotonous routine to those where children are exposed to structured formal learning, often in English, made to do tests and homework, and denied their right to play,” Financial Express <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/education-2/no-child-in-pre-school-should-be-made-to-take-written-or-oral-test-ncert/1734730/">reported</a> citing NCERT official. Instead, a child’s progress should be assessed using anecdotal records, checklists, portfolios and interactions. “Each child’s folder should be available for parents and children to view and should remain with the preschool until such time as a child’s transition to another preschool programme or in the primary school,” the guidelines mentioned.

Sisodia said that no private school in the national capital will be allowed to increase fees during lockdown. Also, they will only charge monthly tuition fees from students, as they attend <keyword id="977497" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-classes">online classes</keyword>, PTI reports.

Be it private or government schools, they cannot hike fees,” Sisodia told ANI. Even if parents are unable to pay fees on time, schools can’t restrict students from accessing online sessions. "Education and the economy were worst affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We are taking online classes and taking various steps to ensure education to the students of government school," he said. If schools refuse to adhere to the rules, the government can take action under the Epidemic Act and Education Act. In addition, the Delhi government also directed the school administrations to pay salaries of both contractual and permanent staff until the lockdown lifts on May 3. <div type="twitter" handle="msisodia" handlename="Manish Sisodia" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1229003286176382976/NYtsfSfI_normal.jpg" favoritecount="953" retweetcount="273" status="सभी प्राइवेट स्कूलों की ज़िम्मेदारी है कि सभी teaching, non-teaching, contract या outsourced स्टाफ की तनख्वाह समय… https://t.co/kKLxCWqgyA" createdat="1587107144000" id="1251044156157247488"></div> See also: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/education/news/dd-and-airs-educational-broadcasts-will-prepare-students-for-engineering-and-medical-entrances/articleshow/75192833.cms">DD and AIR’s educational broadcasts will prepare students for engineering and medical entrances</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/covid-19-ncert-develops-alternative-academic-calendar-to-engage-school-students-during-lockdown/articleshow/75185473.cms?upcache=2">NCERT develops alternative academic calendar to engage school students during lockdown</a>
