Bihar Replaces 'Fail' with 'Eligible for Skill Training' on Class 10 and 12 Marksheets
The Bihar government will remove the word 'Fail' from Class 10 and 12 marksheets, replacing it with 'Eligible for Skill Training' to encourage students and reduce stigma. Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari stated this change aims to maintain student morale without altering pass criteria. Special one-month classes will be held for supplementary exam candidates to improve success chances. Additional initiatives include a Teacher Support Portal launch and 'no-bag days' on Saturdays to promote holistic education.
