he tall claims of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to implement Grading system in class X for the academic year 2007-08 seems to have fallen flat this year.
CBSE had decided to introduce a nine-point grading scale in class X in order to do away with the stigma associated with students being marked ‘failed.
Mr. Ashok Ganguly, the CBSE chairman had announced last year that implementation of grading system would be effective from 2008, but later denied it.
“We are waiting for the official approval by the ministry of Human Resource development. We can not implement it without the official nod,” Mr. Ganguly said at a press conference on 4th of September.
Under the proposed nine point grading system, students will be required to qualify grades in four of the five subjects to get promoted to the next level. The main highlight of the system is that the students’ mark sheets will no longer carry ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ remark and students would also be entitled to try four options to improve their grades in two subsequent years.
