Himachal School Education: The Himachal Pradesh government has taken a major decision to implement the CBSE curriculum in the state's government schools. Under this initiative, 100 senior secondary schools will be affiliated with the board in the first phase, starting from the next academic session. The CBSE curriculum will then be implemented in other schools.

According to education board officials, 100 senior secondary schools in the state will be affiliated with the CBSE in the first phase. This change will be implemented from the next academic session. The government plans to have at least one government school affiliated with the CBSE in every assembly constituency, so that students from every region of the state can receive quality education at affordable rates.

What will be the benefits?
Following this decision, parents believe that this will help their children prepare for competitive exams and reduce the need for expensive studies outside the state. According to the state government, this initiative will create a spirit of healthy competition between schools affiliated with the Himachal Pradesh Board of Education (HPBOSE) and CBSE schools.

This will motivate students and teachers to perform better. The CBSE curriculum is nationally recognized and useful for preparing for competitive exams. This will provide Himachal students with greater opportunities for higher education and professional careers.

Preparations to Create a Separate Sub-Cadre
According to media reports, the state government is preparing to create a separate sub-cadre to implement this change. According to the government, existing teachers can join if they wish. Recruitment of principals, teachers, and non-teaching staff will be based on merit, taking into account academic qualifications, participation in cultural activities, and other qualifications. A performance-based incentive scheme will also be implemented to motivate teachers and staff. This will include both financial and non-financial rewards.

Schools on the Day-Boarding Model
Government schools affiliated to the CBSE will operate like day-boarding schools, meaning they will focus on student development along with academics. Along with education, facilities such as nutrition, sports, arts, skill development, separate education for underprivileged students, counseling, career guidance, mentoring, and coaching will be provided. The government has said that if needed, extra posts will also be created for these works.
