    Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) CCE: Scrapping of Board Exams Resurgence of Board exams Board-based Class X exams to return to CBSE CBSE scraps open-book exams, drops international curriculum CBSE rolls back reforms, experts worried CBSE: Lockers in schools to reduce bag load
  • Data

    Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

  • CBSE was established in 1929 and is one of the largest Board of Secondary Education in India. It has 17,500 affiliated schools in India and across 25 countries. It is an autonomous body that works under the aegis of the Human Resource Development Ministry

  • Background

    CCE: Scrapping of Board Exams

    CCE: Scrapping of Board Exams
  • CBSE introduced 'Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation' (CCE) to mitigate students' burden.

    In 2011, CCE system did away with Class-10 board exams by making them optional. It also introduced grading instead of marks that students/teachers found unfair.

    In 2014, demand to reintroduce board exams gathered steam.

    After observing student angst against CCE, former HRD Minister Smriti Irani sought views of various stakeholders in this regard.

  • Key Reasons

    Resurgence of Board exams

    Resurgence of Board exams
  • CBSE Chairman explained that public opinion is in favour of re-introducing Class 10 board exams.

    He added that it was crucial for students to have the ability to be able to write subjective and descriptive answers and not merely rely on multiple choice questions.

    The motivation for this move is to improve quality of government schools in light of growing commercialization of school education.

    CBSE rolls back reforms, experts worried
  • Experts have expressed concern that after rolling back so many reforms there may be nothing to set apart CBSE students from those of other boards.

    The board recently scrapped the open text based assessment, discontinued the international curriculum and made Class 10 board exams compulsory again.

    Academicians decried the moves calling them regressive and an undoing of innovative education techniques.
