UP Board exams to be held on new pattern, says Secondary education minister Gulab Devi
Secondary education minister Gulab Devi said, All schools should complete the syllabus by January 20 next year. The department also proposes to hold career counselling sessions in schools. For continuous and comprehensive assessment of students, the Board will conduct five monthly tests. While three will be based on multiple-choice questions (MCQs), two will be descriptive. The 'School Chalo Abhiyan' will also be held for secondary schools to reduce dropout rate.
The academic calendar will be uploaded on the websites of schools. Students will express their opinion on moral and relevant issues like human values, character building, patriotism, social service, life of great personalities, environment and water conservation, health and traffic rules, said Minister.
