We can not altogether do away with some kind of testing.In my opinion, instead of class X ,a child be asked to sit in a Board examination at end of Class VIII and then in class XII, to optfor higher studies. All jobs should have a minimum qualification of Class VIII. But Mr. Kapil Sibal's other reported suggestion of a single Board for whole of India is impractical.
We need to totally change our education system which was designed by British to create clerks. Read views of Mahatmaji and Vinobaji to get some good idea.
the move made by honourable minister has lit a slow flame in the mind.Being a student i know the benefits of liberalising a creative mind from the biggest shackle-the exams.a child must be judged by his/her creativity and reasoning ability.the tenth board not only traumatise the minds but also destroys the essential time which could otherwise be denoted for creativity.so we should step forward to let creativity and true knowledge prevail.
exams do not necessarily promote knowledge and intelligence.they distort education. scrapping class x exams is very welcome. our education system must graduate to fewer exams altogether.
Congress want to give away all grade IV employment to minorities who are not even good to pass class XII and for grade IV the person needs to be matriculate....... so after scrapping class X exams, everyone passes it and then reservations kick in...... Good going Sibal, congress.....sscrew this nation royally
This is a very good idea to coin an idea like this. The whole country is now debating about class 10th exam. This way, a lot of your other duties as HRD minister is ignored by people. They are only busy in class 10th exam. There are a lot of other more important things in improving our education system than making class 10 exam optional. But this idea is very easy to implement and getting much higher publicity and visibility. And thus more important in your political career.
It is absolutely a stupid idea. Sibal has no clear idea what he wants. No body thinks in the interest of students and parents have no choice but to send their wards to some school.What is the most important for the students is to understand what they learn not simply pass the exam and marks determine their merit and excellence. Only solution is that if exam system is delayed at least for the first 12 years of age of the child and introduce exams slowly and cumulative progress should determine the merit. It is slow process and no body is interested. Definitely not Mr. Sibal
