10 ka DUM...More se no More !!!


Grading system for CBSE schools approved

NEW DELHI: Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Monday said that grading system will be introduced in all CBSE schools from the coming academic year.

“Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) supports making Class X examination optional in CBSE system,” announced Kapil Sibal at a press conference on Monday.

“There is a pan-India consensus over the issue. So we have decided to go ahead with this,” Sibal said.
From the coming academic year (2010-11), the Class X board exams will become optional in all CBSE schools.

Sources said CBSE has prepared the format of an aptitude exam which schools can use to test Class X students on their level of understanding in each subject. The emphasis, however, will be on continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) through the year instead of a single public exam at the end of Class X.

CBSE Class X boards to become optional from 2010

A great news for Class IX studying students that Class X board exams will be optional in all CBSE schools, from next academic year i.e 2010-2011.

CBSE will use the pattern of aptitude exams for all schools which will judge the level of understanding in each subject.

However, evaluations will be made on the basis of all over performance through out the year instead of a single public exam at the end of the year.

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.

IMPORTANT POINTS:(from learning curve)
1.The students who want to skip the exam in class X CBSE Exam2011 should study in the same school and pass class XII

2.Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation(CCE) means no onetime exam ,internal continuous tests.

3.Even now most of the major subjects in X have internal assesment marks.

4.Board exams are easier than the home exams say majority of students.

5.Rural Urban divide is not considered.Majority of rural students study up to class X and opt for some work after it,hence Class X pass certificate is important for them to get a job.

6.Parents,teachers,schools may pressurise the students take Board Exams as it is optional

As more details are coming in,we can deal with this issue in later posts..meanwhile watch the TV for discussions...
