Students in classes 11 and 12 will learn two languages, one of which is of Indian origin. Currently, in classes 9 and 10, students study two languages. In classes 11 and 12, students learn one.</p><p>Students will also be allowed to take board exams twice a year. This decision has been taken so students can get enough time and opportunity to do well in the exams. They will also be able to keep their best scores. For example, if a student gets 80 in maths in one exam and 85 in the other, they can retain the marks of the second exam.</p><p>To make board exams less stressful, the tests will focus on how well students understand things rather than how much they can memorise. Currently, students in classes 9 to 12 must study five mandatory subjects, with the option of adding one more. Now, they must study seven compulsory subjects for classes 9 and 10 and six for classes 11 and 12.</p><p>The cost of textbooks will also be minimised. Under the new changes, board exam test developers and evaluators must complete specific courses to better themselves. NCF also mentions that students in classes 11 and 12 will be able to choose between various disciplines instead of being limited to only arts, science, and commerce.</p><p>These are some changes that have been announced.</p><h5>What is the National Education Policy?</h5><p>On 29th July 2020, the NEP 2020 was announced. This policy suggests numerous reforms in classroom, higher, and technical education. The policy also aims to transform the country’s education system by 2030.</p><p>So, what are your thoughts about the changes that have been recently announced? Tell us in the comments.</p>
