In a landmark decision aimed at easing academic pressure on students, the Andhra Pradesh Board of Intermediate Education has proposed significant reforms in the Intermediate education system.
The board has proposed to discontinue first-year public examinations for Intermediate students starting from the academic year 2025-26, and opened to take feedback and finalise the decision, marking a shift in the state's approach to evaluating academic performance.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Dr. Kritika Shukla, Secretary of BIE stated that the proposed reforms aligns with the National Curriculum Framework Act (NCF-2023), which emphasizes a balanced, skill-oriented curriculum rather than rote learning. She highlighted that these proposals aim to create an environment where students focus on understanding concepts rather than memorizing content.
She added, "The change of Curriculum addresses the need to reduce undue academic stress while aligning the syllabus with national standards, ensuring better preparation for competitive exams such as NEET and JEE."
