HRD Minister Kabil Sibal, in June, proposed to reform the exam system in schools and “de-traumatise” education by making the Class 10 Board Exams optional. He has proposed creating a single and pan-Indian board for Class 12 exams and he wants to replace marks by grades in Classes 9 and 10 of CBSE-affiliated schools.
He wants an independent accreditation body for school education and he wants to enact the Children’s Right to Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
He wants to encourage private investments in education; he wants to review the functioning of existing deemed universities and he wants a regulatory authority in higher education in which “there would be no political interference.”
Now, Class 10 students of schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) won’t have to give board exams from the next academic year and will be graded for their performance through the year.
Students will be graded for their performance through the year and not just on the basis of one exam. Grading will be mandatory but students can also opt for a board exam.
If unwell, students will also have the option of taking an exam later. Students will have to pass in at least four out of five subjects.
