The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has directed its regional offices to conduct a surprise inspection at schools preparing Class X and XII results to ensure the assessment policy issued by it is implemented effectively.

With the board exams being cancelled because of the second wave of Covid-19, schools have been tasked with tabulation of results using separate alternative assessment policy announced by the CBSE for the two classes.

“To ensure that policy issued by the CBSE is implemented effectively, it has been decided that schools be immediately visited by the officials of the regional offices to verify the work done by the schools under their jurisdiction,” CBSE examination controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said in a letter to regional offices.

The board has directed that the schools may be inspected in such a manner that at least each category of schools — private, government, KVS (Kendriya Vidyalaya Samiti) and NVS (Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti) — is covered.
