A.P Intermediate syllabus too tough for students, Teachers???

Do you agree with me???

Officials of BIEAP are worried that the pass percentage of Inter would come down this year because of the revised syllabus which is tougher. According to them, the worst affected would be students in government junior colleges where the standards are relatively lower. Officials cited a 10 per cent drop in the results of first year science students last year as a reason for their alarm. BIE officials are blaming their predecessors for making the inter syllabus tougher by including new subjects. As part of reforms, the officials revised the syllabus for science subjects last year by adding 20 per cent more content, also upgraded all the contents to CBSE and ICSE standards. This year, BIE has revised the syllabus for arts and humanities streams by increasing the content by 20 per cent. The situation of students is worse since most of them say they cannot understand the revised subjects as they have no link with subjects they studied before. There are several new topics and some of them are in the range of graduate and post-graduate level. Officials argued that they have upgraded the syllabus to CBSE and ICSE level to enable students of the state to do well in IITJEE, AIEEE and JIPMER.
