Creative questions to be applied in math exams
Says education minister
After the successful application of creative question method in 21 subjects at secondary level, the government has decided to introduce the question method in mathematics and higher mathematics in future, said Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday.
"The creative system has had a positive impact on the education system," he said while speaking at a workshop organised by Secondary Education Sector Development Project (SESDP) held at National Academy for Educational Management (NAEM) in the capital.
Nahid said the students and teachers are no longer afraid of the question method.
The system was introduced in a bid to stop students from depending on memorising, he said, adding that questions that still remain about the teaching and formulation of the creative question method can be addressed in the coming days.
"Although there was scepticism among some people about the method but now they are happy as the method has brought a positive change in education in the country," Nahid added.
Sources said the ministry would apply the method in mathematics and higher mathematics on the basis of the recommendations of the workshop.
In 2010, the method was introduced in two subjects-- Bangla and Religion Studies-- in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination and now the method is being applied in 21 subjects.
The method will be introduced in Chemistry, Civics, and Business Policy in 2013 and in 2014 it will be applied in eight more subjects.
