With changes in power structure comes changes in policies. The human resource development ministry which witnessed a major change a couple of months back with the installation of Prakash Javadekar as the head and removal of Smriti Irani has taken up the task of changing rules and policies.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has advised the central government against scrapping the “no detention” policy, reported The Economic Times.

The report quoted the apex education advisory body’s director Hrushikesh Senapathy as saying, "The policy has been most effective in checking school dropout rate and doing away with it could lead to a spiral in the number of schoolgoers dropping out."

The Javadekar-led ministry has been keenly pushing for doing away with the "no detention" clause under the Right to Education Act.

According to NCERT’s website, "the RTE Act prohibits any public examination up to class VIII and no detention policy has to continue."

The RTE Act, 2009 introduced the provision of no detention under article 16. The article states, “No child admitted in a school shall be held back in any class or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education”.

According to the International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Studies, the act proposes no detention up to class VIII in order to increase retention of children in schools by way of no pass-fail system and to realise the goal of universalisation of elementary education.
