“The division of the syllabus will enable the students to learn more by increasing their focus on each subject. Conducting the examinations in two parts will also help establish the seriousness of the board exams. Additionally, the bifurcation of the exams will give them an exposure to get accustomed to board exams, thereby, inculcating a positive stance among the examinees. The new declaration also emphasizes on internal assessments – this, along with the objective pattern of the exams will only amplify the knowledge that the students will gain from their learning. Moreover, the splitting of the curriculum means lesser pressure on the students, which in turn will allow the students to dedicate more time and effort to comprehend their subjects. Concept based learning is ultimately the best way to impart education and these measures announced by the CBSE board is a leap towards a better tomorrow. In conclusion, this is a positive and productive move by the board.” – Dr Mona Lisa Bal, Chairperson, KiiT International School.
