As part of its efforts to overcome a major shortcoming and
prepare students for the challenges of the modern society driven through
technology, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha has
decided to introduce a non-examining compulsory subject “Basic Computer
Education” (BCE) at the +2 level, said a senior official in the Department of
Higher Education (DoHE).
Despite the ever-growing
importance of computer education, the State has not introduced the subject at
the higher secondary level so far. Principal Secretary of Higher Education
Gagan Kumar Dhal has asked his departmental officials to form a committee to
finalise the process to ensure that students are able to receive computer
education from this academic session itself.
In a proposal submitted to the
DoHE, CHSE Chairman Nihar Ranjan Patnaik has outlined the course of action and
roadmap to complete the process as soon as possible, said an official.
As per the proposal, BCE course would
be introduced in Classes XI and XII and carry 100 marks (both theory and
practical). Principals of colleges would conduct the examination at their
college level and award grades to the students, which would be reflected in the
mark-sheets and certificates issued by the CHSE.
The colleges would make provisions
for computer labs and other infrastructure facilities. Courses are being
finalised taking the help of experts in the field of computer education, said
the official.
The BCE course would be available to
Plus Two students of all the three streams of Science, Arts and Commerce as
well as of subjects like Yoga and Environmental Science. “This will improve the
students’ basic knowledge of computers, which is currently lacking among them,”
said the official.
thank you for the comment. Indeed, this is another way to address this problem:
