Revamping of HSE, VHSE curriculum mooted

Thorough revamp of curriculum, syllabus and textbooks for both Higher Secondary and Vocational Higher Secondary courses once in every five years and doing away with public examination for Class XI are among the major recommendations of a committee constituted by the State Government to examine the problems in Higher Secondary education sector and suggest remedial measures.
 Presenting the report to Education Minister P K Abdu Rabb here on Tuesday, the head of the committee P O J Labba said the report contains recommendations that need to be implemented in the short term as well as long term. “The curriculum and syllabus of Higher Secondary courses that have been in place for more than five years should be revised under the supervision of the SCERT. The state curriculum steering committee should take immediate steps in this regard,’’ he told reporters.
 In the case of Vocational Higher Secondary education, curriculum and syllabus followed for over five years, should be revised and introduced from the next academic year onwards.
Textbooks should be prepared keeping in view the recent trends and developments, the report recommended adding that an expert committee should be constituted for revising  the syllabus and the curriculum.
 Public examination can be done away with for Class XI. Instead, annual examination can be conducted in schools with a common question paper prepared under the supervision of the SCERT, the report said.
Teacher-student ratio in Higher Secondary Schools should be 1:40. If there are more than 50 students, it should be treated as a new batch. The committee recommends five working days in a week for Higher Secondary courses and rescheduling of time tables. However, the system of six working days in a week should continue for Vocational Higher Secondary courses, the report said.
The report also recommends setting up of an ‘’independent body’’ on the lines of the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) which would grade both private and government higher secondary schools. Setting up of a specialised Higher Secondary academic wing to co-ordinate functioning of Higher Secondary education and Vocational
Higher Secondary education, has also been proposed in the report. Other recommendations include constitution of a Quality Improvement Cell under the SCERT.
