AHMEDABAD: The state education department has decided to entrust schools with the entire responsibility of conducting monthly unit tests for Class 9 to Class 12.
Till now, the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) used to prepare the question paper of all important subjects and send them to schools to conduct the exams. However, schools will now be able to conduct the unit test by preparing the question papers and deciding on the schedule as per their convenience.
State education minister Jitu Vaghani recently announced this on a social media platform. He said the decision will benefit about 25 lakh students across 18,000 secondary and higher secondary schools in the state.
Recently, the state education department faced severe criticism after exam papers were leaked on social media and questions regarding the confidentiality of exam papers were raised.
