I don’t know if he returns to the State later.” Insisting that the Congress alliance would get around 80 seats, he pooh-poohed BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma for asserting that the combined Congress-AIUDF tally may not cross 35 seats. “Can he say he will quit politics if we get more than 35 seats,” Gogoi wondered. AHSEC ... (Contd from page 1) Sources in the AHSEC confirmed that in view of the loss of nearly two and half months of the current academic year, the Council, after a meeting with its academic standing committee, has decided to reduce the syllabus by 30 per cent as a one-time measure to help students cope with the situation. The course downsizing would include both HS First Year and HS Second Year curriculum and the Council would formal- ly notify its decision by August 31, 2020, sources added. It may be noted that the State government has drawn up a preliminary plan to reopen schools, particularly for higher class- es from September in a staggered manner, subject to go-ahead from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. In AHSEC-affiliated institutions, the HS Second Year classes usually start from the end of April and final exam is held in mid- February. Considering the loss of significant number of aca- demic days due to closure of academic institutions amid lock- down, concern was being expressed at various levels over AHSEC’s silence over either reducing the syllabus or post- poning the HS Second Year exam timings. 4 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2020
