CBSE allows class 10th Basic Math students to opt for Standard Math in class 11th
In a significant move aimed at enhancing academic flexibility, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that students who studied Basic Mathematics (code 241) in Class 10 will be permitted to opt for Standard Mathematics (code 041) in Class 11 for the academic session 2025-26. This decision continues the relaxation first introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and extended in subsequent years. Background: Two levels of mathematics In 2020, CBSE introduced two levels of Mathematics for the Secondary School Examination. These are: Mathematics (Standard): Designed for students intending to pursue Mathematics at the senior secondary level and beyond. Mathematics (Basic): For students not planning to take Mathematics at higher levels. Under the original guidelines, students who opted for Basic Mathematics in Class 10 were restricted to studying Applied Mathematics in Class 11. CBSE policy update for session 2025-26 Recognising the evolving educational landscape and the need for greater academic flexibility, CBSE has decided to continue the relaxation allowing Basic Mathematics students to choose Standard Mathematics in Class 11. However, this is contingent upon the school principal or head of the institution ensuring that the student possesses the necessary aptitude and ability to handle the subject's rigor. Furthermore, CBSE has emphasised that once subjects are finalised in the List of Candidates for board examinations, no changes will be permitted. Therefore, students and parents are advised to make informed decisions regarding subject choices. Implications for students This policy change offers students increased flexibility in shaping their academic trajectories, particularly benefiting those who may have initially chosen Basic Mathematics but later decide to pursue fields requiring a stronger foundation in Mathematics. It aligns with the broader objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for a more holistic and flexible educational approach. CBSE's decision to allow Basic Mathematics students to opt for Standard Mathematics in Class 11 reflects a commitment to accommodating diverse student needs and aspirations. By providing this flexibility, the board supports students in making choices that align with their evolving academic interests and career goals. Ready to empower your child for the AI era?

Supercharging Science To Inspire Next Generation
Minister of Education The Government is ensuring all Year 0 to 8 students have access to high quality, hands-on science kits through Budget 2025, helping pave the way for New Zealand's future scientists, problem-solvers, and innovators. 'We want students to love learning about science. Hands-on learning improves critical thinking and science understanding, which are essential for student success in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). This investment will help lift science engagement and achievement in classrooms across the country and inspire our future meteorologists, marine biologists and software engineers,' Education Minister Erica Stanford says. Budget 2025 is investing $39.9 million over four years into developing and delivering science kits for schools nationwide. The kits will be designed to support teachers to confidently deliver practical science learning, aligned with the new science curriculum. Teachers using the kits will also have access to professional development modules to support the use of the new resources in their classrooms. 'These practical resources, include hands on experiments and engaging equipment for each year level of the Year 0-8 curriculum. The kits will help students build their foundational knowledge and skills early and help bring science to life. The kits will undergo development and begin to be available from the start of the 2026 school year. They will also be available in te reo Maori, with dedicated pūtaiao kits and bilingual resources available to meet the needs of all learners. 'This initiative directly supports the Government's economic growth agenda by investing in the future talent pipeline that will drive productivity, boost wages and power a more competitive and resilient economy. These benefits will positively impact sectors like agritech, clean energy, biotech and advanced manufacturing, where kiwi innovation already leads the world. 'We want our children to be excited by science, to be captured by hands on learning so that we are inspiring the next generation of creators, inventors and great problem solvers,' Ms Stanford says.

Transforming education must: Hajiji
Published on: Thursday, May 29, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 29, 2025 Text Size: Hajiji posing for a group photo with other guests and participants of Arise 2025. Kota Kinabalu: Transforming the State's education system is an urgent necessity and not a choice to ensure Sabah students are prepared to face future challenges, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. He said 2024 study data revealed that only 65 per cent of students demonstrated good or excellent problem-solving skills, while just 72pc felt confident applying scientific knowledge in their daily lives. 'This shows we cannot be complacent. Many students are still struggling to grasp basic Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) concepts. Therefore, education transformation must be made a top priority,' he said when officiating an international education research conference, Arise (Astounding Research Innovation STEM Exploration) at Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), Wednesday. Hajiji said a research and innovation-based teaching approach must be strengthened and mainstreamed to ensure Sabah's education system remains relevant, inclusive and competitive. Hajiji also called on all educators, educational institutions, researchers and policymakers to continue exploring and improving educational approaches in line with the digital era and current industry needs. He said Arise 2025, which brings together more than 600 participants including the United Kingdom, Spain, Philippines, China and Ireland serves as a vital platform for global-level educational collaboration. Advertisement 'This conference not only unites educators, researchers and policymakers from various countries but also promotes the empowerment of education rooted in science, technology and culture.' He also emphasised the importance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and STEM education as key drivers in developing a high-quality, competitive and innovative human capital in Sabah. He said the State Government has allocated RM41.75 million this year to the State Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (KSTI), the Sabah Skills and Training Centre (SSTC) and the Sabah Creative Economy and Innovation Centre (Scenic) for various training and skills empowerment programmes. They include Kembara Sains Borneo, the Sabah Science Carnival, the Technology and Innovation Competition, the STEM Education Festival, the Roboneo Programme and the Sabah Screen Fest — all of which serve as important platforms to spark students' interest in technology and engineering. Hajiji also welcomed the presentation of 13 conference sub-themes, including digital education, Malay studies, Islamic education, guidance and counselling, sports science, visual arts and early childhood education. He is confident sharing of knowledge would lead to international collaborations that can elevate the profile of researchers and educational institutions in Sabah to the global stage. 'Educators are the lifeblood and backbone of successful education transformation. I urge them to be bold in exploring research and innovation in education,' he said. Arise 2025 is also a manifestation of the State Government's commitment through the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya Development Plan 2021–2025, which prioritises education as a catalyst for the State's sustainable development. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
