9 Papers in SSC 10th Class Annual Exams: The State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) finalized the proposals on the changes in SSC curriculum, assessment, evaluation, and training that would be implemented from the next academic year 2024-25 onwards.
As they appear, the radical reforms have been a replica of the CBSE curriculum and the modus operandi of assessment. There will be more focused periodic tests, slightly more syllabi, enhanced topics, and, of course, the CCE ( Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation), which has been implemented up to Class VIII since.
The proposals were discussed in a workshop conducted by the SCERT. They have to be ratified by successive governments in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The state government has been studying the proposals submitted by the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) on reforms to the SSC curriculum and examinations.
The SCERT team, led by its Director, G. Gopal Reddy, submitted the proposals to the Principal Secretaries of Primary and Secondary Education, Poonam Malakondaiah and Rajeswar Tiwary, on 03 May.
According to official sources, the proposals are likely to be ratified sometime this week. Once they are okayed, implementation will be from next academic year 2024-25 onwards, i.e., from June onwards. Teachers will be given periodic training on the new changes and also on assessing the students’ multilateral performance. SCERT will also take responsibility for training the teachers.
SCERT made some changes in its earlier report after speaking to teachers’ unions and education experts. It now proposes nine papers instead of seven for the annual examinations, as suggested earlier.
There will be three single papers for three languages (First, Second, and Third), each worth 80 marks. For the three group (non-language) subjects, there will be two papers each, each worth 40 marks. The remaining 20 marks will be awarded in internal assessment.
The grades are also slightly changed. 9 Papers in SSC 10th Class Annual Exams
