First Published: 29th April, 2024 13:37 IST
The PDF version of the book is available on its official website, www.sebaonline.org, in the textbooks section, Seba officials said.
The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) has announced the introduction of a new elective subject, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic, from the academic session 2024-2025.
A notification issued by SEBA recently, said that a decision has been taken to teach AI and robotics in Class IX from this academic session (2024-2025) and in Class X from the next year (2025-2026). The PDF version of the book is available on its official website, www.sebaonline.org, in the textbooks section, Seba officials said.
The notification said the practical marks of all vocational subjects — AI and robotics, garment designing, woodcraft, music, dance, yoga and physical education, fine arts, home science, weaving and textile design, besides subjects under NSQF (National Skills Qualifications Framework) shall be 50% from the 2024-2025 academic session itself.
However, the practical marks for computer science and commerce will be 30%, as it was before.
Further, the system of conducting practical examinations at the notified exam centres has also been done away with altogether.
SEBA further announced that a new examination format for HSLC 2025.
It revealed that the HSLC 2025 examination will feature four separate question paper sets (A, B, C & D) for the Objective Multiple-Choice (OMR) format. This restructuring is expected to enhance the assessment process.
Another significant change is that the “District Level Internal Examination Committee” will now conduct the practical examinations for all subjects. This decentralized approach aims to streamline the evaluation of practical skills acquired by students.
In language subjects like English, the questions will not be strictly limited to prescribed lessons or chapters. Instead, the emphasis will be on assessing the overall learning outcomes of the subjects, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation.
For Science and Mathematics subjects, while questions may still be derived from textbooks, examples and references beyond the textbooks can also be included. Additionally, the examinations may require summations or calculations based on the specific learning outcomes of the content covered. SEBA has announced that the pattern of questions for vocational subjects will also undergo modifications aligning with the new guidelines outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
