The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in consultation with the Ministry of Human Resource Development and keeping in view the spirit of National Policy of Education, 1986 has decided to introduce the following education reforms:-
i) There will be no class X Board examination w.e.f. 2011 for students studying CBSE’s Senior Secondary Schools and who do not wish to move out of the CBSE system after Class X. The students studying in CBSE’s Secondary Schools will, however, be required to appear in Board’s external examination because they will be leaving the Secondary School after Class X.
ii) The Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation has been strengthened in all CBSE affiliated schools w.e.f. October, 2009 in Class IX.
iii) The new Grading System has been introduced at Secondary School Level (for Class IX and X) effective from 2009-10 academic session.
The Right of Children to Free & Compulsory Education Act 2009 has been enacted, which envisages significant reforms in the Elementary Education sector especially with reference to admission, attendance and completion of elementary education by all children in schools which conform to specified norms and standards. Appropriate policy reforms in the higher education sector have also been undertaken, Section 6 of the Central Universities Act, 2009 provides for academic reforms in newly established Central Universities.
The reforms are being extended to other Central Educational Institutions also. This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Smt. D. Purandeswari, in a written reply to a question, in the Rajya Sabha today.

Dear Teachers...

PRIS Scheme is implemented in all the Autonomous Institutions of DAE including AEES. However its date of implementation i.e. September 2009 is something the employees in all the aided institutions are not happy with. We the teachers in AEES are joining hands with our friends in other units to plead with DAE to give the effect of implementation from September 2008, i.e. on par with DAE employees. General Secretary (ACTSWA) and President(ACTSWA) met Additional Secretary Shri.A.P.Joshi at his office at Anushakti Bhavan on 18/11/2009 and raised issues including
1. PART-B Salaries to teachers
2. Grant update allowance to AEES employees on par with other DAE Units
 3. Retrospective implementation i.e, w.e.f. September 2008 of PRIS (20%).
He was very much concerned of these issues and assured that he take up issues/ matter with appropriate authorities. He told us to represent these issues in writing and the same shall be considered at Govt level (however I am constrained not to reveal beyond this). It is understood that our genuine representation(s) will be considered and acted upon by the Department. ACTSWA members are welcome to write offering their views if any to.
