Board chairman Bhagirath Shetye said that Goa is set to be the first state board to announce its policy for Class XII evaluation, as its formula is in the final stages of being vetted.
After the decision of the Supreme court on the formula proposed by CBSE, the Goa education board said that it will look into the formula and consider it before deciding its own policy.
Board chairman Bhagirath Shetye said that Goa is set to be the first state board to announce its policy for Class XII evaluation, as its formula is in the final stages of being vetted.
“Our policy will be out within the next three days. It will be the first state board policy for Class XII students to be declared,” he said.
We are in the final stages of finalizing the policy. Now that the CBSE formula has come, we will go through it too,” said Shetye.
The state board had called for suggestions from the public on the methods to be adopted to tabulate Class XII marks for the 2021 batch, following the cancellation of the public examinations.
Shetye said that 52 suggestions in all have been received by the board.
“We have received 52 suggestions in all from parents, educationists, students and a few from schools and organisations like GCCI. While some individuals have simply said that all students should be promoted, others have provided more detailed inputs,” said Shetye.
Following the announcement of the cancellation of the Class XII Goa Board exams, the board has held a series of brainstorming sessions with its various internal bodies over the last one-and-a-half week.
Like the CBSE and the Goa Board’s policy released for Class X students, the formula for Class XII is also expected to give students an opportunity to appear for an exam if they are unhappy with their marks.
While Class XII internal marks are likely to be given weightage, it is to be seen how much weightage is allotted to students’ performance during the previous academic years like Class X, XII, etc.
