Punjab Government school students from classes VI to X will take a 50-mark test on Vedic mathematics, according to an order issued by Director-General of School Education (DGSE) Pradeep Aggarwal. The results of the test have to be compiled by 4pm the same day and sent to the DGSE office. District education officers (DEOs) will prepare a list of schools that did not conduct the test and submit it to the DGSE office. The students would be tested to assess how well they have understood lessons in Vedic mathematics and the results will help in planning the future curriculum. The test is being conducted after 5000 mathematics teachers in the state underwent three-day training on the subject following a grant of Rs. 3.5 lakh which was issued by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development to Punjab for this purpose.
