Posted on: 15/Jun/2020 2:05:25 PM
The State Government of Tamil Nadu had revised the syllabus for the 11th Standard and ordered the same. As per this, the syllabus which had 6 subjects for +1, is being revised to have only 5 subjects from the ensuing academic year.
In this regard, a circular notification has been sent by all the District Primary Education Officers on behalf of the Directorate of School Education to all schools:
“Giving due consideration to the mental tension and anxiety regarding higher education of the students, the State government of Tamil Nadu has revised the syllabus for +1 class (11th Standard) and implement the same from the Academic Year 2020-21.
As per this, the students of +1 will study only 5 subjects (instead of 6 as per the present system) – Language, English, and students can select any 3 out of the 4 available subjects on option.
As such, the schools have to emphasize the students to select the above 3 subjects out of 4 available on their own preference. Further, the private schools can commence admission only after getting approval from the State Government on the revised syllabus.
Meanwhile, it happened last academic year that some private schools violated the system and made admissions first and then sought approval for the syllabus. So, now no admission activity can be taken up by any school without the approval of the revised syllabus in the ensuing academic year. Further, approval to adopt the revised syllabus will NOT be given to the schools whose license/approval has expired.”
At present, it has been announced that all students of the 10th Standard are promoted. As such, most schools have shown eager interest in offering admission for 11th Standard.
In fact, complaints have been received by the Department of School Education that some school administrations have already conducted discussions with the parents of the students on this!
The Tamil Nadu State Government Department of School Education has issued an order blocking admissions fort eh 11th Standard even as the detailed result for the 10th Standard Examinations is not released yet.
