58 lakh students didn’t pass Classes 10, 12 board exams in 2022 education ministry plans reform-Education News

Over 58 lakh Class 10 and Class 12 students didn’t progress from their grades in 2022, an analysis of board exam result data from across states by the ministry of education has shown.

The analysis was undertaken as part of the process of reforming the school board exam structure to bring it in line with the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020). The ministry is considering plans to bring school boards across the states and the Union Territories to a common platform. Another proposed reform is to merge multiple boards within the same state into one state board for both Class 10 and Class 12 levels.  Apart from a single platform assessment, the ministry report —Examination Results of Secondary and Higher Secondary Boards – Some Observations has suggested skill based training for students who fail exams and mapping of regular boards with open boards to decrease dropouts in secondary and higher secondary level.  According to the report’s data, in 2022, 35 lakh students of Class 10 did not progress to Class 11 in which 27.5 lakh students failed the exam and 7.5 lakh students did not appear for the board exam. Meanwhile 23.4 lakh students didn’t complete Class 12 where 18.6 lakh students failed in the exam and 4.8 lakh students did not appear for the exam.
