CBSE Introduces New Grading Rules for Private Students in Gulf Countries
CBSE 為海灣國家私立考生推出新評分規則
Introduction
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has created a new evaluation system for private Class 12 students in Gulf countries whose exams were cancelled due to regional instability.
中央中等教育委員會 (CBSE) 為海灣國家中因地區局勢不穩而導致考試取消的私立 12 年級學生,制定了一套新的評估制度。
Main Body
This policy was created because examinations were cancelled in Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE due to conflict between Iran and the United States. While a policy for regular students was introduced on March 27, the board realized there was a gap regarding private candidates. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta explained to the Supreme Court that because private students are not linked to a school, they did not have internal records, such as quarterly marks, which were used to grade regular students.
這項政策是因為伊朗與美國之間的衝突,導致巴林、伊朗、科威特、阿曼、卡達、沙烏地阿拉伯以及阿拉伯聯合大公國的考試被取消而制定的。雖然 3 月 27 日已經推出了針對正規學生的政策,但委員會意識到私立考生方面仍存在漏洞。總檢察長 Tushar Mehta 向最高法院解釋,由於私立學生不隸屬於任何學校,因此他們沒有內部紀錄(例如季度成績),而這些紀錄是用於為正規學生評分的。
To fix this problem, the CBSE announced a revised policy on June 21. This system uses a weighted average to calculate marks for cancelled subjects: 40% comes from the Class 10 board exam and 60% comes from the most recent Class 12 attempt. For the Class 10 part, the board calculates the average of the three best main subjects. If a student did not take Class 10 through the CBSE, the board will accept results from other official education authorities.
為了修正這個問題,CBSE 於 6 月 21 日公布了修訂後的政策。此制度使用加權平均法來計算被取消科目的分數:40% 來自 10 年級的董事會考試,60% 來自最近一次 12 年級的嘗試。在 10 年級部分,委員會會計算三個最佳主科的平均分。如果學生未透過 CBSE 參加 10 年級考試,委員會將接受其他官方教育機構的成績。
This change was discussed during a legal case filed by Pransu Jigarkumar Patel, a private student from Saudi Arabia who could not start his B.Tech program because his results were delayed. The Solicitor General confirmed that this new formula increased the student's marks. Furthermore, the board emphasized that students who are unhappy with these calculated marks can choose to take a new exam, although those new results will be final.
這次變動是在一起法律案件中討論的,原告是一名來自沙烏地阿拉伯的私立學生 Pransu Jigarkumar Patel,他因成績延遲而無法開始 B.Tech 學位課程。總檢察長確認此新公式提高了該名學生的分數。此外,委員會強調,對這些計算分數不滿意的學生可以選擇重新考試,但新成績將視為最終結果。
Conclusion
The Supreme Court has closed the case now that these guidelines are in place, although the student still has the right to ask for access to his answer scripts.
既然這些指南已經生效,最高法院現在已結案,不過該名學生依然有權要求查閱其答題卷。

🚀 The 'Logic Bridge': Moving from Simple to Complex Sentences
At an A2 level, you usually write short, separate sentences. To reach B2, you need to connect ideas using Logical Connectors. The article does this perfectly. Let's look at how to upgrade your speech.
⚡️ The Upgrade: From "And/But" to "Professional Connectors"
Instead of saying "The exams were cancelled and the students were sad," the article uses high-level bridges to show cause and effect.
1. The "Contrast Bridge" (While)
- A2 Style: The board helped regular students. But they forgot private students.
- B2 Style: "While a policy for regular students was introduced... the board realized there was a gap regarding private candidates."
- Coach's Tip: Use While at the start of a sentence to compare two different situations in one breath.
2. The "Addition Bridge" (Furthermore)
- A2 Style: The marks went up. Also, students can take a new exam.
- B2 Style: "...this new formula increased the student's marks. Furthermore, the board emphasized that students... can choose to take a new exam."
- Coach's Tip: Stop using "And" or "Also" to start a sentence. Furthermore makes you sound like an academic professional.
3. The "Reason Bridge" (Due to)
- A2 Style: Exams were cancelled because there was a conflict.
- B2 Style: "...exams were cancelled due to regional instability."
- Coach's Tip: Due to is a powerful replacement for because of. Use it when you want to link a result to a specific cause.
