Bihar just dropped ‘fail’ from Class 10, 12 marksheets. What replaces it?
The Bihar Board has decided to remove the word "fail" from the marksheets of students appearing for the Class 10 and 12 examinations. Instead, the word "Kaushal ke liye patra (eligible for skills)" will be used, as per the state Education Department. Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari made the announcement during a review meeting on Thursday night, emphasizing that a student's inability to achieve expected marks should not reflect their talent.
The department plans to introduce special classes for students appearing for the Matric supplementary examination, with these classes to be conducted for a month to help students prepare better. The change aims to maintain the morale of children and provide them with additional preparation opportunities.
