New Curriculum of Class 11 will be Started from this Academic Session:

Students studying in class 11 from this academic session have to study according to the new curriculum. After the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) of 2076 could not be conducted due to the infection of Coronavirus (Covid-19), the students enrolled in class 11 on the basis of internal assessment of the school had to study according to the new curriculum.

Director-General of the Curriculum Development Center, Keshav Dahal, informed that the new curriculum would be implemented in class 11 from the new academic session. "Necessary preparations are being made for that," he said. There are plans to introduce a new curriculum in class 1 this year as well. Accordingly, students studying in class 11 will now have to study six hundred integers. According to the new curriculum, three subjects will now be compulsory, including Nepali, English and social studies.

Earlier, only two subjects, Nepali and English, were compulsory in class 11. There will be only three elective subjects. Students will also be able to take an examination in one more subject of 100 integers if they wish.

It is said that textbook writing is going on for three compulsory subjects. Books on these topics will be published by the Government Printing Press Janak Shiksha Samagri Kendra. Earlier, the textbook of class 11 was not even written and printed by the government. Especially after class 12 is considered as a school level, the practice of writing textbooks on compulsory subjects has been started.

Experts on optional subjects have been requested to write textbooks and the books will be studied and approved, said Director General Dahal. For that, a deadline has been given to send a sample of the textbook and get approval until July. In addition to this, Nepali will also be the medium of social studies that is being made compulsory for class 11. According to the officials, the decision was taken on the basis of suggestions that Nepali would be suitable for the study of Nepali art, culture, and original identity-based subjects in society.

The textbook writers, on the other hand, said that the decision to implement the new curriculum for class 11 was timely but suggested that textbook writing should not be limited to the government level only. Textbook writer Govinda Bhandari clarified that a competitive environment should be created in textbook writing, adding that it would increase the scope of knowledge of students.
