Tamil Nadu reduces syllabus for Class 10 & 12 students
The Tamil Nadu government on Sunday announced that there will be a reduction in Class 10 and 12 syllabus with about a third of the lessons been made optional.
The School Education Minsiter had, in October 2020, announced that about 40 per cent of the total syllabus will be slashed. The State Council for Education Research and Training was asked to carefully select a priority syllabus based on which the public exam question papers will be set.
The syllabus has now been divided into compulsory and optional parts. Students can avoid studying the optional parts while preparing for the public exams. “We have excluded a particular portion out of many chapters instead completely slashing out a third of the chapters in each subject. This way students will at least have a broad understanding of most topics,” said an official from the school education department.
