STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: Given the Covid-19 pandemic situation, the SEBA (Board of Secondary Education, Assam) has decided to reduce the course curricula of Classes IX and X by 40 per cent for the academic session 2021-2022.

The notification issued by SEBA Secretary Suranjana Senapati says, "In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational institutions had to be closed from the third week of April, 2021. During this period, the schools had conducted online classes; but, most of the students could not attend the classes due to various reasons. As such, it has been noticed that there has been considerable academic loss; and, it will be difficult for the students as well as the teachers to cover the course curriculum prescribed by the SEBA (Board of Secondary Education, Assam) for the academic year 2021-2022.

"Therefore, the SEBA has decided to reduce the 'Course Curriculum' of each and every subject approximately by 40% in comparison with the academic session 2019 for the convenience of examination of the students of Classes IX and X in the academic session 2021-2022.

"The revised 'Course Curriculum' will be provided in PDF to all Inspectors of Schools concerned which is to be circulated amongst all Heads of Schools, teachers and students of Classes IX and X respectively. The revised syllabus will be also available in the SEBA website at www.sebaonline.org."

The notification added, "The syllabus is reduced only for the examination purpose for the academic session 2021-22 only; and, it is hereby requested to the teachers to teach the whole course if possible, so that students can have an adequate knowledge of their entire course content".
