New Delhi, Ministry of Education has recommended the adoption of a general board for class 10 and 12 to seven states after an analysis by the School Education Department, stating that these states had calculated 66 percent of student failures last year, the officials said.
Seven states include Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Kerala, Manipur, Odisha, Telangana and West Bengal.
There are a total of 66 school examination boards in the country, including three national level boards and 63 state level boards,
While the top 33 boards cover 97 percent of the students, the remaining 33 boards cover only 3 percent students.
The school’s education secretary Sanjay Kumar said, “Common board for class 10 and 12 is ahead for ease of school education. Due to not having a normal board, there are poor educational results. We have recommended these states to adopt a general board.”
A total of 22.17 lakh students failed in class 10, and failed in class 12 across the country in 20.16 lakh 2024.
While the number has improved in the decade, officials say they remain a significant retention for higher education and a significant obstacle for infection.
“The role of National Institute of Open School Education in these states became important to attach students failed to education. The current prominence of NIOS around Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana needs to be extended to other states.
Kumar said, “The standardization of the assessment process, course, paper setting, height, examination duration also needs to pay attention to boards.”
The analysis stated that open school boards performed poorly, with only 54 percent of class 10 and 57 percent of class 12.
Kumar said, “Institutions like NIOS should pursue efforts to prevent dropouts, which is supported by Samagra Shikha Abhiyan and has increased the engagement of parents,” Kumar said.
A major trend is that girls are performing better than boys in most boards, especially in science. More than 28 lakh girls were passed in science, surrounded by 27.2 lakhs in art – reversal of earlier trends and increased by 23.3 lakhs in 2022.
The analysis marked the significant difference between the performance of students in various mediums of instructions.
Students appearing in Odia and Malayalam mediums did much better than peers, highlighting regional inequalities compared to peers in Kannada, Telugu or Assamese. States like Kerala, Odisha and Manipur, which have integrated the board system, recorded a rate of above 97 percent, with Kerala 99.96 percent.
The analysis report also noted strong performances from Navadya Vidyalas, where 72 percent of students approved NEET-NG. Students of Center and Navodaya Vidya also performed well in engineering admission tests.
NVS are completely residential, co-educational schools, which provide quality modern education to talented children from class VI to XII, mainly from rural areas.
