Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Board has introduced significant changes to the Class 10 Computer subject syllabus for the 2026-27 academic session, aiming to enhance digital skills and cyber awareness among students. Aligning school education with emerging technological and skill-based requirements, the board has incorporated new topics related to e-commerce and cyber security.
New Topics in Class 10 Computer Syllabus
The updated syllabus includes modules on UMANG and DigiLocker services, health portals such as Aarogya Setu, and Mera Aadhaar (UIDAI). Students will also learn about cyber hygiene practices, including the use of unique passwords, multi-factor authentication, and safe Wi-Fi access points.
Fencing Added to Moral Education and Sports Syllabus
To encourage sports and physical fitness, fencing has been introduced in the syllabus of Moral Education, Yoga, Sports and Physical Education for Classes 9 and 11.
Remedial Teaching Unit Tests for Classes 11 and 12
Following government directives to improve learning outcomes and increase student interest, subject experts have introduced four remedial teaching unit tests in all Class 11 and 12 subjects. These tests will be conducted at the school level to assess students' understanding and provide timely academic support. However, marks obtained in these unit tests will not be reflected in the final marksheet.
Changes in Science and Home Science Subjects
Another key reform pertains to High School level Science and Home Science subjects. The Board has replaced internal assessment with practical work, and students will now be required to appear in public practical examinations for these subjects.
UP Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh stated that the revisions were finalized after curriculum committee meetings and a detailed review of the syllabi by subject experts. The updated courses for all High School and Intermediate subjects have been uploaded on the Board’s website for the 2026-27 academic session.
