The Nagaland Board of School Education will be introducing Mathematics as an elective subject in the Higher Secondary Arts stream from the academic session of 2022 based on the recommendation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The subject will be introduced in Class XI in 2022 and Class XII in the 2023 academic session respectively.
The board also informed the Higher Secondary Schools that are affiliated with the board to offer mathematics as an elective subject to the students of the Arts stream and appoint qualified teachers to teach the subject, if interested.
Further, as emphasized in the NEP 2020, all higher secondary schools have been requested to introduce more subjects, as given in the existing syllabus at the higher secondary level so that students may be given more choice of subjects.
