On April 1, the Bihar government discontinued plus two classes in colleges

The government of Bihar declared that plus two (intermediate) courses will no longer be offered at institutions connected to different state universities. The Education government said late on Wednesday night that while these lessons were stopped at Patna University almost ten years ago, they would no longer be offered in colleges under other universities starting with the April academic year.

The announcement states that as of the next session, only upper secondary schools will provide intermediate education in the three subjects of arts, science, and commerce. The department said that while the Universities Act suggested delinking intermediate (plus two) from colleges, it has not been able to be implemented as of yet due to a lack of resources in upper secondary schools.

The state gazette has already been informed of the decision in this respect. In accordance with the National Education Policy (1986/92), the Nitish Kumar administration decided to phase out intermediate education from institutions in 2007. They also implemented the 10+2 pattern for plus two. “The department has already created extensive infrastructure, hired 65,737 teachers for secondary schools via a special effort, and 67,961 instructors for upper secondary schools. According to the announcement, government schools are now capable of providing plus two instruction.

Prior to this, the Bihar government had already improved the secondary schools that were already in place and made the policy decision to establish one upper secondary school in each panchayat.
