New NCERT / CBSE Formula to ease Class X stress

Filed under:

The new formula suggested by the CBSE Chairman Dr. Ashok Ganguly for introducing a two level system for subjects like Maths, Science and English etc. will ease out the pressure from the students due to their high failure rates in the class X CBSE exams.

The new formula suggests two levels for such subjects. The primary level ( the easier level ) will be meant for all while the higher level will be available for those having special aptitude for the subject and this is likely to reduce the stress on the students.

The suggestion is based on the recommendations made by the Central Advisory Board on Education (CABE) in its National Curriculum Framework passed on last Wednesday.

These reforms are in addition to the recent suggestions of the CBSE to make the class X exams optional in the coming years.

The new road map laid by the NCERT has emphasized on reduction of test books, less class and homework and from the next academic year in its recommendations to make the whole system more friendly to the students.
