Bihar Board marksheets to replace ‘fail’ with ‘eligible for skills’ to protect students’ morale

Bihar plans to replace the word “fail” on Class 10 and 12 marksheets with “Kaushal ke liye patra” to avoid negatively labelling students. The Education Department will also introduce month-long special classes for Matric supplementary candidates. The move comes alongside broader school reforms, including Saturday no-bag days, creative activities and measures to strengthen student support.
