Bihar Schools Replace 'Fail' With 'Skills Eligible'
27 Aug
Summary
- Bihar replaces 'fail' with 'eligible for skills' on marksheets.
- New policy aims to value students' talents beyond test scores.
- Teacher's Day event to launch a new Teacher Support Portal.
The Bihar state education department has announced a significant policy change: the word 'fail' will be removed from Matric and Intermediate marksheets. Students who do not achieve passing marks will now be designated as 'eligible for skills.' Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari revealed this decision, emphasizing that examination scores do not solely determine a student's capabilities.
This new approach seeks to foster a more holistic view of student potential, shifting focus from traditional failure metrics to recognizing diverse talents. Preparations are also in motion for the state's Teacher's Day celebrations on September 5 at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is slated to inaugurate the event, which will also feature the launch of the Teacher Support Portal and the presentation of state awards to one teacher from each district.
