Children will start their first grade from the age of 6. Classes 1 to 10 will be taught at the age of 6 to 16 years. Education will be done from 11th to 12th at the age of 16 to 18 years.
Students will be given two levels of options in all subjects. For example, this time CBSE had given the option of two levels in Maths - Basic and Standard. Now starting from Maths, this kind of option will be available in all subjects. Students will be able to study it by choosing one option as per their choice.
Instructions should be given to children in schools in their home language, mother tongue and regional language till at least 5th grade. However it can also be adopted for classes 8th and beyond.
Board exams will be simplified a bit. The examination will be such that the core competency can be tested. These exams on objective and subjective patterns will be offered twice a year. Students will be able to choose one of these.
The Performance Assessment, Review and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development (PARAKH) will be established, which will serve as the standard setting body for board exams.
For school students, 10 days a year will be bagless days. That is, in these 10 days they do not need to go to school with the burden of books in their bags. During this time they will be given informal internships.
