Central Board of Secondary Education grading, ‘optional’ Class 10 exam from 2010
Union human resources development minister Kapil Sibal said Tuesday he plans to make the Class 10 board examination optional for students under the Central Board of Secondary Education from 2010, when the new grading system of assessment would also be introduced.
The minister said the proposal for a one-board-one-exam system across the country was not on HRD’s immediate agenda as a uniform exam might not be possible right away because of the differences in standards between the state boards.
"Unless the quality of education in state boards is improved, they cannot affiliate to a uniform system. The one-board-one-exam system needs to be evolved after a detailed consultation process," he said.
