The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided not to reduce the syllabus for students of classes 9 to 12 for the academic year 2021-22. Last year, the syllabus was reduced by 30 per cent. CBSE's decision has led to concern among students and parents. While economically backward students are still struggling to access online classes, others point out that children struggle with concentration and the lack of direct interaction with teachers makes it difficult for the students to cover the whole syllabus.
