Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Unveils Groundbreaking Educational CBSE Board Exams Reforms

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said big changes would be made to the way Indian schools work at an event in Chhattisgarh. The fact that students in Class 10 and Class 12 will now be able to take board tests every other year is the most important change. This means they can do it twice a year. The 2025–26 school year will see this big choice put into place. It is a step towards a more open and student-centred method.

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020: Shaping the Future of Education

This big change began with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a strong document that came out in 2020. The NEP lays out a complete plan to change the education sector. Adding board exams every two years is one of its most important parts. The goal of this smart move is to reduce academic worry while giving students plenty of chances to do well in school.

New Curriculum Framework (NCF): A Student-Centric Approach

In August of the previous year, the Ministry of Education made the New Curriculum Framework (NCF) so that these changes could go more smoothly. Board exams are required every two years by the NCF. This gives students enough time and freedom to do well. It is important to note that students can keep their best scores, which makes the testing method more student-centred and flexible.

Flexibility for Student Well-being: A Non-Mandatory System

Minister Pradhan stressed in his speech that the new method is not required. Students can choose if they want to take the twice-yearly board tests, so they can make decisions that fit their own needs and desires. This method shows that you want to give each student choices that fit their specific needs and goals.

NEP Vision: Stress-free Education and National Development

Minister Pradhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still committed to making schools stress-free, which is in line with the NEP’s goal. The bigger goal is to give kids a good education, help them understand their cultural roots, and get them ready for a bright future. This goal is an important part of India’s plan to become a developed country by 2047.

Inauguration of PM SHRI Scheme: Elevating Educational Standards

Minister Pradhan also started the PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) programme in Chhattisgarh at the same time. With a “hub and spoke” plan, this project aims to improve 211 schools across the state. The mentor institutions will help the student institutions improve themselves. They will act as the “hub” and the “spoke.” The plan shows the dedication to raising educational standards and making a good place to learn.

A big goal is for 10% of the medals won by the country in the 2036 Olympics to come from players from Chhattisgarh. This pledge shows that the government is serious about supporting sports and the general growth of young people. The government promises to support education and growth.

Key government leaders, including Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, School and Higher Education Minister Brijmohan Agrawal, and others, attended the event. This shows that the government is committed to putting education first. These programmes are carefully planned to make a setting that helps students grow and develop, which fits with the larger goal of making India rich and advanced.
