“the Trimester pattern will be introduced in all schools in
Tamil Nadu from the next academic year in order to reduce the
load of the books on children as it causes physical strain to them.
Accordingly, instead of having a single voluminous text book for
each subject for the whole year, the academic year would be
divided into three terms and for each term, there will be separate
text book for each subject. At the end of each term, the
Examination would be conducted under Continuous
Comprehensive Evaluation. This would drastically eliminate
worries, fearness and depression of the students besides reducing
the physical strain caused by the load of books.”
