Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Monday said that Central Advisory Board of Education has approved making Class X examinations optional in all CBSE schools.
The approval for HRD minister Kapil Sibal's plan for making Class X exams optional to students who want to continue studies in the same schools and the new procedure for appointment of vice chancellors came at the meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) comprising state education ministers, union HRD ministers and some other ministers.
Sibal said that after Class X exam is made optional in CBSE, the states may follow the pattern based on the experience of the central board.
He said the collegium for selection of vice chancellors will be an autonomous body comprising experts and eminent academics and will suggest possible names for the posts, PTI reported.
"The collegium will put forth names for the post of vice chancellors before the government. If the government rejects it, then the matter will be referred to the collegium again. But there will be no interference from the government side in the appointment," Sibal told reporters.
The government would bring a bill for setting up of the National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER), which will have the provision for setting up of the collegium for appointment of vice chancellors, he said.
“There is a pan-India consensus over the issue. So we have decided to go ahead with this,” Sibal said.
Sibal also said that government will set up Educational Tribunals to look into malpractices and grievances of students
