In a Facebook post, Minister Sivankutty reminded students that they are appearing for the exams after completing their studies with revised textbooks based on the New Curriculum Framework 2023, introduced after a gap of 11 years. He noted that the new evaluation system is designed to assess essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, analytical ability, and creativity.
The minister reassured students that there are no changes in the examination structure this year. Stressing that the Class 10 examination is only a qualifying test for higher studies, Sivankutty reiterated that the government has ensured Plus One seats for all students in Kerala.
