The Act amends the provision of no detention till class 8th and stated that a regular examination will be held in class 5 and class 8 at the end of every academic year. If a child fails the exam, he will be given additional instruction, and take a re-examination. If he fails in reexamination too, then the relevant state or central government may decide to allow schools to detain the child.
