As per the board, the framework will replace the “existing rote learning model and will focus on assessing students based on their competencies needed to solve day-to-day problems.”
Under the new system, teachers will be trained to create question papers and other assessment methods that test the actual competency of students in these subjects, rather than their ability to memorise chunks of text.
The new framework was launched by Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.
It is aligned with the National Education Policy’s vision of achieving a global standard in assessments.
