One board, one exam, one syllabus is the new policy of
the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
CBSE students who have been following the board's
international syllabus will have to answer questions prepared from the national
curriculum from 2018.
"From 2018, there will be no separate question
papers for students of CBSE International (CBSEI) schools," a senior board
official said. "All the students will answer the same question
papers."
Among the board's 19,700 affiliated schools, around two
dozen in India and about a hundred abroad have been following the CBSEI
curriculum, introduced in 2010 for a few schools in the UAE, Singapore, Japan
and Saudi Arabia.
The idea was to help these students, who read more on
world history and emerging global issues in science and international politics,
compete with those enrolled with boards like the International Baccalaureate
and the UK-based Cambridge.
Last December, the CBSE examined the poor feedback of its
international curriculum and the logic behind persisting with two types of
syllabi. Sources said it was decided that the curriculum followed by most schools
would be continued with for all CBSE affiliated schools.
