The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has declared that no controversial questions can be included in the secondary school test. The board has announced that if any controversial questions appear in the 2026 secondary school exam, the headmaster of the concerned school will be held accountable. This new directive has sparked controversy.
Commenting on this directive, Supriyo Panja, the headmaster of a school in Kolkata told News18 Bangla that the subject teachers will prepare the questions, which will be sent to the printer in a sealed envelope and then distributed to students confidentially. If headmasters review all questions, it might jeopardise confidentiality.
Several headmasters have mentioned that they have clearly instructed subject teachers during a meeting that no questions outside the syllabus should be asked. Therefore, the subject teachers must be cautious while setting questions.
Jadavpur Vidyapeeth Principal Partha Pratim Vaidya remarked that the board has warned principals through this directive. However, those framing questions should also be cautious to avoid unnecessary debates. All parties must remain vigilant to prevent controversies.
The board has specified that subject-based teachers within each school will create the test questions. Schools must compile their questions independently and are prohibited from purchasing them through any external organisation or agency.
Soudipa Das, editor of the Collegium of Assistant Headmasters and Assistant Headmistresses, stated that the Academic Council should supervise everything from preparing questions to printing. However, in most cases, the school head controls everything, so their responsibility cannot be overlooked.
The board has instructed that each school must email their test questions to the board office at the end of the test. An official from the WB Board said that if any school fails to follow this rule, action will be taken against it. The deadline for accepting secondary test exams is between November 3 and 13.
