DOWNLOAD EBOOKGovernment of Andhra Pradesh has introduced the non-detention system, a system of automatic promotion, at the school level realising that education is best imparted in an atmosphere of free progress where the incentive and urge to improve spring from within the educational process rather than from the terror of examination and detentions. Under this system, the students will be automatically promoted to the next class provided they put in a stipulated percentage of attendance. However, there will be two common/public examinations during the school career, one at the end of the upper primary stage and the other at the end of the secondary stage. This non-detention system evoked a mixed reaction from the educational elite. A study, hence, was conducted to evaluate the non-detention system and the results of the study are quite interesting. This research monograph on non-detention system will be great use to the educational planners, administrators, researcher and teachers.
