CBSE to issue new guidelines to reduce burden on students
Kochi: The Central Board of Secondary Education will issue new guidelines to schools to reduce the burden on students. A circular will be issued to all schools in this regard.
Rescheduling school time and reducing the burden of learning are some of the guidelines. Demand to reschedule the school time is a long time demand from the parents and students. Hence, Union ministry for Human Resource Development will issue new guidelines regarding this.
The ministry will direct all states to allocate guidelines on the basis of the central criteria.
The action was taken as per the complaint on school time from many CBSE Schools.
In many schools, even 5-year-old students are forced to attend classes early morning. In many schools, classes commence at 7 in the morning. Thus, the new guidelines have given priority to reschedule school time.
Union ministry of Women and Child Development also raised the need to reschedule the school working hours. State Commission for Protection of Child Rights also received many complaints in this regard.
At the same time, in most of the CBSE schools, weight of the school bags was found to be double than the allowed weight. CBSE has informed the High Court, there are some practical issues to reduce the school bag weight.
Thus, the new guidelines will be issued by clarifying this matter.
The circular also directs to give awareness to parents not to compel teachers to give homework to students. Arrangements should be made in school to keep unnecessary study tools and books of students, noted the guidelines.

Five social science chapters dropped from CBSE class 10 syllabus
New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to drop five social science chapters, including Challenges to Democracy and Political Struggles and Movements, from class 10 syllabus from this academic session, according to the new curriculum.
The dropped chapters, including three on political studies and two on environment, will only be part of internal assessment, but not the final board exam.
The chapters are -- Challenges to Democracy about problems facing the governance system as well as political reforms, Democracy and Diversity on the politics of social divisions, Political Struggles and Movements dwells on popular struggles in Nepal and Bolivia, among others.
The other two are Forest and Wildlife about biodiversity, vanishing forests, Asiatic Cheetah and other endangered animals and Water Resources which includes lessons on water conservation.
"The chapter will be assessed in the periodic tests, but will not be evaluated in the board examination," the brief attached with the syllabus sent to schools read.
The board had last month issued a circular to schools, saying it wanted to align its assessment patterns with the future needs as the Ministry of Human Resource Development has decided to participate in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2021.
"Countrywide consultations were held with CBSE stakeholders, including teachers, students, heads of institutions and experts in the field to suggest ways to strengthen the assessment and evaluation practices of the board," the circular read.
"It was agreed upon that the school-based or internal assessment needs to be strengthened by incorporating more diverse strategies," it added.
