Students in the UAE have fared well in the Term 1 CBSE exams, according to head teachers of the Indian curriculum.

India's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Saturday released the results of the Term 1 Grade 12 board exams.

Sanjeev Jolly, executive principal of Our Own High School - Al Warqa'a and chairman of Gulf Sahodaya, said results have been 'respectable' in every school.

"Students are now working to make them even better ahead of them appearing for Term 2 exams in April, May and June," Jolly said. "Some students have met expectations, some have exceeded and there will be a few cases where we can see that Covid-19 has affected outcomes."

Every student is required to appear for both the Term 1 and Term 2 assessments. Though students may have scored high in Term 1 exams, Jolly said schools will only be able to assess their performance at the end of the academic year, when results of the Term 2 exams are released.
