Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar today (7 December) said rules defining "learning outcome" to assess the performance of students at the end of an academic session will become a part of the Right to Education Act by March next year. Javadekar said:
Speaking at the 'Agenda Aaj Tak' event in New Delhi, Javadekar announced reintroducing compulsory Class X board examination for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliated schools from 2017-18 onwards.
The decision to codify learning outcomes and incorporate it in the RTE Act was taken during the sixty-fourth meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) on October 25. The country's highest advisory body on education had recommended allowing the states to take a call on the no-detention policy under the RTE Act and conduct exams at Class four and Class eight levels.
