Major Curriculum Changes Proposed By CBSE For Class X And XII Students. Deets Inside

There have apparently been major curriculum revisions planned for classes 10 and 12 by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The proposed modifications mandate that class 10 students study three languages, two of which must be native Indian languages.

Students will have to pass in 10 subjects

The report states that instead of the existing five subjects that children in class 10 must pass, they will now need to pass ten. In addition to the three languages, the following seven courses are suggested for Class 10: science, social science, art education, environmental education, physical education and well-being, and mathematics and computational thinking.

According to the reports, external assessments will be conducted for the three languages, math and computational thinking, social science, science, and environmental education. Conversely, a combination of internal and external exams would be used for art education, physical education, and vocational education. However, in order to advance to the following grade, students would need to pass in all ten subjects.

New CBSE Curriculum will make students study two languages

In the meanwhile, instead of the current requirement of studying one language, pupils in classes 11 and 12 will now be expected to learn two. It is required that one of the two languages studied be an indigenous language of India. Should the suggested modifications be put into effect, pupils will have to pass six subjects in order to receive their high school diploma. Students currently study five subject, consisting of four electives and one language.

National Education Policy 2020

According to the newspaper, the suggested modifications are a component of the CBSE’s larger plan to introduce a national credit system into the curriculum. As suggested by the National Education Policy 2020, the framework aims to create academic equivalency between general and vocational education in order to facilitate mobility between the two educational systems.According to the CBSE model, 40 credits could be earned by 1200 notional study hours in an academic year.

All of the time a student is supposed to spend on reading, research, coursework, revision, contact hour preparation, independent study, and other activities in order to accomplish the established outcomes is included in the concept of “notional learning hours.” Stated differently, a student must complete a total of 1200 learning hours in a year, with a specific amount of hours assigned to each topic, in order to pass. When the creditized system will be implemented is unknown, though.
