) and CHSE (www.chseodisha.nic.in ), he said that the Block Education Officers (BEOs) and District Education Officers (DEOs) will be asked to inform the schools and higher secondary schools about this decision at the earliest.To enable the students to participate in national-level tests, the syllabus committees have picked the chapters accordingly.
On further reduction in syllabi due to continuing delay in reopening of schools, the minister said the state government would take a decision to this effect in the first week of September after the Centre announces the new unlock-4 guidelines on August 31.
