The attention of all Regional Joint Directors and District Educational Officers in the state is drawn to the examination timetable for Class X public exams issued in reference cited
It is emphasized that Class X plays a critical role in the life of a student, serving as the first board examination. As a result, parents, teachers, and the entire education department place a great deal of importance on this examination.
Many students face challenges with exam tension and worry about their performance. To mitigate these issues, it is crucial to make proper plans and guidance for students to achieve success in their exams.
Various DCEBS in the state have already begun implementing examination preparation plans with different names, such as DOT (Srikakulam DCEB), PUROGAMI (Nellore DCEB), Cycle Tests (Krishna DCEB), Self-Evaluation and Learning for Future (SELF) (Vizianagaram DCEB), Ananata sankalpam (Anantapur DCEB), and others.
However, it has come to our attention that some districts have not yet started intensive examination preparation. In light of this, it has been decided to introduce a common plan for rigorous revision and examination preparation for Class X students, to be known as Target Oriented Programme (TOP) for Class X. This programme should be implemented in conjunction with regular teaching to ensure that the syllabus is fully covered.
Therefore, all Regional Joint Directors and District Educational Officers in the state are directed to implement the Target Oriented Programme (TOP) for Class X in districts, where specific examination preparation plans have not yet been initiated. The detailed instructions. roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, model time table is attached herewith for your reference.
Additionally, it has been decided to conduct the pre-final examination for Class X students to provide more practice and familiarization with the new pattern of SSC examinations. The pre-final examination will be conducted from 8th March 2023 to 16th March 2023. The question papers for the pre-final examination will be sent through online mode.
SCERT AP will design the question papers for pre-final examination at the state level. In connection with this, Formative Assessment 4 (Slip test) for class x will be cancelled.
Therefore, please ensure that all necessary arrangements are made for the smooth conduct of the pre-final examinations, the conduct of parent awareness meetings, and the implementation of the Target Oriented Program (TOP) for Class X.
