History

The new education policy has transformed the educational structure from pre-primary to college, introducing changes at every level, including lower primary, upper primary, secondary, and higher secondary. As part of this reform, the merger of the Assam Board of Secondary Education and the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council was necessary to consolidate classes from Grade IX to Grade XII into one level.

The Ministry of Education initiated the merger process of the Education Council and SEBA by forming a four-member committee. This committee comprised the Secretary to Secondary Education, the Secretary to the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council, the Managing Director of Assam Textbook Development and Publication Corporation, and the Secretary to SEBA.

SEBA was established on January 29, 1962, under the Assam Secondary Education Act (1961). The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council was formed on June 1, 1984. Both boards conducted the High School Leaving Certificate Examination and Higher Secondary Examination respectively.

The Assam State School Education Board Bill, 2024, was introduced in the Assam Legislative Assembly on February 7, 2024. Under the new National Education Policy 2020, the Government of Assam merged SEBA and the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council. [5]

Former SEBA Chairman Ramesh Chandra Jain was appointed as the first Chairman of the Assam State School Education Board and former AHSEC Chairman Rukma Gohain Baruah as its first Vice-Chairman. Both officers were appointed for three years. Following the council's formation, all examinations up to Class XII will be conducted by the council, which comprises 21 members. [6]
