Bihar just dropped ‘fail’ from Class 10, 12 marksheets. What replaces it?
The Bihar Board has decided to eliminate the word "fail" from Class 10 and 12 students' marksheets, replacing it with the term "eligible for skills". Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari made the proposal during a review meeting. Tiwari emphasized that a student's inability to achieve expected marks should not be seen as a reflection of their abilities or talent.
The state Education Department plans to introduce special classes to help students prepare for supplementary examinations over a month. Additionally, government schools in Bihar will operate for a shorter time on Saturdays, focusing on creative activities such as theatre and music, in line with the Chief Minister's recent announcement.
