Kerala’s draft curriculum framework for school education presented by the state education minister V Sivankutty proposed multiple and semester exams, and career guidance centres for Classes 11 and 12. The draft Kerala Curriculum Framework also recommended making two languages compulsory for the two classes.

Moreover, the Kerala government compiled the deleted portions from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks to create a new textbook for students of Classes 11 and 12. The education minister had claimed that the council had omitted important parts from the syllabus of these classes.

On the contrary, Meghalaya board decided to use NCERT textbooks instead of state ones for school students saying that the state textbooks are not up to the standards. The government also announced last year that CBSE syllabus will be followed for three subjects of Classes 11 and 12 including physical education, sociology and psychology.
