PAAP Urges Phased Rollout of Class X Exam Reforms
The Parents Association of Andhra Pradesh (PAAP) wants the government to slowly introduce new changes to Class X exams.
These changes are based on new education policies that focus on understanding and creativity instead of memorization.
PAAP is worried because teachers and students might not be ready for these changes all at once.
They think it would be better to start these changes in Class VIII and gradually move up to Class X. This way, everyone can get used to the new way of learning and exams without too much stress.
PAAP urges the Andhra Pradesh government to defer and phase the implementation of Class X examination reforms.
Reforms are based on NEP-2020 and NCERT-PARAKH recommendations, promoting conceptual understanding and creativity.
PAAP expresses concerns over the lack of teacher training, revised textbooks, and pilot testing.
Rural students and those accustomed to rote learning may face difficulties and increased stress.
PAAP proposes a gradual rollout starting from Class VIII for a smoother transition.
