On August 23, the administration announced substantial changes to the education curriculum framework, as part of which students will be required to take board examinations twice a year and would be permitted to keep the top result.
“Board exams will be given at least twice a year to ensure that students have sufficient time and opportunity to perform well.” Students can then sit for a board test on topics they have finished and believe they are prepared for. They will also be able to keep their top score, according to the ministry.
According to the curriculum paper seen by PTI, in order to make board examinations “easier” than the existing “high stakes” practice, the test would examine knowledge and achievement of skills rather than months of coaching and memorizing.
According to ministry sources quoted by the news agency, the new curriculum, based on the New Education Policy (NEP), is complete, and textbooks for the 2024 academic session will be prepared on its foundation.
According to the new structure, students in Class 11 and 12 will be required to learn two languages, one of which must be Indian. Furthermore, the choice of topics in these two grades will not be limited to streams such as Arts, Science, and Commerce to provide for greater freedom.
