Srinagar, Nov 28: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) Friday proposed to introduce dual-level mathematics examination for Class-10 wherein students will have the option to choose between \u2018Basic or Standard\u2019 levels.<\/p>\n
The official according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that the proposal is aimed to reduce the stress among those students who do not wish to continue mathematics at senior secondary level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea behind introducing the two levels or two Question papers of varied difficulty is that the students who do not study Mathematics after Class 10th need not to be tested for the standard skills,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Director Academics of JKBOSE in a notification seeking public opinion has said that as per the Guidelines of National Education Policy 2020, JKBOSE intends to implement a mechanism for offering two level Mathematics \u2018Basic and Standard\u2019 for class 10th.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe move is aimed at making board exams less stressful and to optimize the assessment as per the future endemic interest for the students desirous to pursue mathematics at higher secondary level,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n
The proposed roadmap for implementation of the scheme states that there shall be a single examination comprising two levels of mathematics that is ‘Mathematics Basic and Mathematics Standard’.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe students shall have an option to choose any one level. The difficulty level of the Mathematics-Standard exam shall be the same as the existing exam and the Mathematics-Basic Question paper will be easier in comparison,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n
It also said that the standard level will be meant for students, who wish to opt for Mathematics at Senior Secondary Level and the Basic Level would be for students not keen to pursue Mathematics at Higher Secondary level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe syllabus, classroom teaching and internal assessment methods for both the levels will remain the same to allow students to study a range of topics and then decide upon the level for which they wish to appear during the board examination,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n
JKBOSE notification further said that the students, who opt for Mathematics-standard and fail in the exam will be allowed to appear in the Bi-Annual Exam for Mathematics-Basic or Mathematics Standard.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn case a student opts for Mathematics-Basic and passes in the exam but changes their mind later and wishes to pursue Mathematics at Higher Level, they will be allowed to appear for Mathematics-Standard Compartment Exam,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n
JKBOSE said that in order to generate informed opinion regarding the implementation of the scheme, all stakeholders including civil society, academicians, parents, scholars, students are requested to send their views within ten days from the issue of this notification.
