UP Board's Syllabus Revision Initiative


UP Board Announcement: The Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (UP Board) has announced a pivotal change regarding its vocational education curriculum. The board is set to revise the syllabus for vocational subjects offered in its affiliated schools, with preparations already underway. Currently, 46 vocational subjects are part of the UP Board's curriculum, and the updated syllabus is anticipated to be rolled out in the upcoming academic year, 2026-27.


Implementation of NCERT Syllabus

The UP Board aims to align its vocational subjects with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) syllabus. This initiative will see the UP Board adopting a vocational curriculum developed by the Pandit Sundarlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE) in Bhopal, which operates under NCERT.


Key Changes in the Syllabus

Revisions in Vocational Subjects: The syllabus overhaul will affect various vocational subjects, including mobile repair, automobile technology, and agriculture. Outdated course materials will be replaced with new modules that emphasize contemporary technologies. For instance, photography courses will transition to digital formats, incorporating new topics such as image quality, digital design, and photo editing.


Benefits for Students

Enhancing Student Preparedness: The UP Board's syllabus revision is designed to benefit students significantly. Officials from the board believe that these updates will better equip students to meet current industry demands, thereby addressing the skills gap in the workforce.


Committee for Syllabus Review

Expert Committee Formation: UP Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh has indicated that discussions are ongoing to finalize the new syllabus and ensure its effective implementation across over 28,000 affiliated institutions. The new curriculum will only be adopted after thorough review by a committee. A specialized team of experts from polytechnics, universities, and engineering colleges is being assembled to facilitate the necessary adjustments across all 46 vocational subjects.
