The School Education Department will include a separate period for TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) in order to upscale the English-speaking skills of students in government schools.
“A separate exam (English Paper-II) will be conducted in formative and summative tests,” said Praveen Prakash, Principal Secretary, School Education Department. He said the classes, however, would be confined to listening and speaking skills, as vocabulary, grammar and comprehension topics are already included in the regular English course.
He said students should be encouraged to use the Byju’s app, as the idea was to strengthen their knowledge base in science, social science and mathematics through this partnership with the app designer.
