PANJIM: Set to overhaul its over four-decade-old Goa Board Act 1975 to sync with the current education system, the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has invited suggestions and opinions from public and stakeholders for incorporating them while revamping the Act.
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the Board has said that GBSHSE was established in 1975, thus completing almost 43 years. “Many chapters, Articles which were incorporated in this Act in 1975 are outdated and as such the Board has decided to revamp the whole Act and Rules,” it said.
The Goa, Daman and Diu Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board Act, 1975 was introduced in May 27, 1975. The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) was established accordingly and subsequently began the process of conducting examinations for Class X and Class XII. The first amendment to the Act was undertaken in 1980.
Goa Board has constituted a committee under chairmanship of former law secretary Pramod Kamat. The other members of the committee include former director education Dr Celsa Pinto, former GBSHSE chairperson J R Rebello, Sanjay School chairperson Guruprasad Pawaskar, educationist Dr Nandkumar Kamat and OSD (legal) education department Dayanand Chawdikar.
