Welcoming the move, teachers in Ahmedabad said that it is a good decision by the board as it will lessen the burden of class 12 students
With an aim to reduce the burden of class 12 students, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in a major shift, has removed some of the important chapters from class 12 syllabus and included in class 11 syllabus. The move of the CBSE comes after HRD minister Prakash Javadekar assuring that the NCERT syllabus will be reduced by half from the 2019 academic session so that students get time for other activities for their all-round development.
The CBSE which released its new syllabus for class 9-12 only recently mentioned that it will be implemented from 2018-19 onwards.
Welcoming the move, teachers in Ahmedabad said that it is a good decision by the board as it will lessen the burden of class 12 students. "Class 12 Economics was divided into two parts: Micro and Macroeconomics whereas class 11 Economics subject mainly had theory and history which students found quite easy. In the new syllabus, the board has shifted first part i.e. Microeconomics to class 11. Macroeconomics has a lot of diagrams and it will be good for the students as they will be connected towards class 12 Economics subject from class 11 onwards", said Neetu Sharma, who has been teaching Economics since a decade.
The board has also shifted a major chapter in Physics carrying 14 marks of weight in exams to class 11. Confirming the same, another teacher Kanchan Tandel who has been teaching the subject for past eight years says, "A major chapter 'Geometrical optics' has been moved to class 11 from class 12 syllabus. In a way, it is a good move by the board as it reduces a lot of burdens. This chapter belongs to a bigger unit 'Optics' which has 14 marks of weight in exams. However, this would also mean that class 11 syllabus will become lengthy."
Last year, CBSE had dropped 34 vocational and 7 academic subjects due to low enrolment. In Chemistry this year, one and a half chapter of class 12 has been shifted to class 11 whereas a chapter on Indian Economics Development will now be a part of class 12 from 2019-20.
