Goa Board plans to reduce syllabus for class 10 & 12

The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Examination (GBSHSE) is planning to reduce the syllabus for classes 10 and 12 in the current academic session.

The 2020-21 academic session, which was supposed to begin from the first week of June, is yet to commence.

The board is looking at the possibility of reducing the syllabus for classes 10 and 12 and will consider views of the Principals' Forum and the Goa Headmasters' Association before taking any final decision, said GBSHSE Chairman Ramakrishna Samant.

"All stakeholders would be taken into confidence before we take a final decision. We will come up with a decision in the next few days," Samant said.

According to the Goa education department's order issued last month, schools in the coastal state will remain closed till July 31.
