NBSE TO INTRODUCE MATHEMATICS IN HIGHER SECONDARY ARTS STREAM

Based on the recommendation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 for a multi-disciplinary approach to education, the Nagaland Board of School Education will be introducing Mathematics as an elective subject in the Higher Secondary Arts stream from the academic session of 2022. The subject will be introduced in Class XI in 2022 and Class XII in the 2023 academic session respectively.

Therefore, all concerned Higher Secondary Schools affiliated with the Board have been informed that the students of the Arts stream can offer Mathematics as an elective subject. As such, interested institutions are informed to introduce Mathematics as a subject of study in their respective institutions and appoint qualified teachers to teach the subject.

Further, as emphasized in the NEP 2020, all higher secondary schools have been requested to introduce more subjects, as given in the existing syllabus at the higher secondary level so that students may be given more choice of subjects.
