Yes I think its the right move. The class X exams should be scrapped. Its useless to have another exam in class XII also. Thus class X looses its importance.
I think there are lot more important issues that are being overlooked. Mr Sibal's focus is now limited to urban India and his vote bank
1. Issues like primary education, where govt is yet to take decision of free education for all in the level. 2.In rural India development of proper infrastructure for education. 3.Now education is area, very limited people who are millionairs have access to it. and lot more...... Do something about it.
...of doing something unique on resuming office. The least could be said about Arjun Singh is better. Now Sibbal wants to remove X-exam... How would the 2 level schools/colleges have the students then - no screening at all? It will blunt the students's exam-taking abilities. The level of 2 education would fall in India - for which India is well-known all over the world.
In my opinion, it would be a big blunder if HRD ministry tries to scrap the examination for 10th. Basically it is the point at which students try to get into different streams of education, and is absolutely necessary to measure their skill level at this juncture. And in States like Karnataka, students studying 10th Class in CBSE, usually shift to state Syllabus in under graduate courses like PUC. for this migration to be successful, they need to have a performance appraisal in strictest manner. hope govt. considers all this before taking any steps in this regard.
It is a foolish idea to have been perceived by the HRD Minister.He is trying to put the cart before the horse.In the absence of a public examination determining the extent of what has been learnt by a student,there will be no difference between a time passer student & the one who is really studious & worth the term student.There has got to be a standardised examination to judge the performance of the student.What a howler if the honourable minister says that just to mitigate the owes of parents he intends to introduce the system of doing away with 10 th class exams.There will be only slackness & slackness alone on the part of a student who, at present, is trying to study at least for the sake exams & is,in the process,learning some thing unknowingly.Does the minister not know as to what would be the extent of happiness of a parent when it hears about its child getting good score in an examination?The minister may not be knowing that,by striving/grooming his child with all efforts at its command,the parent will be enjoying a sort of pleasure in pain.If the school final exams are to be scrapped & left to the option of the child,there would only be empty minds which are nothing but devil's workshop.No country wants to breed all such dull headed future citizens who prove as the greatest burden to it.So,Mr Kapil!! Stop getting such fancy ideas just for sensation/novelty's sake.On the other hand,there is a dire need to increase frequency & periodicity of public exams.
Now a days students over burdened right from IX std. again they have to appear for XII there is no logic moreover our systems of education is only memory oriented. This systems never elevate students. The X exam should be scarapped immediatly
According to Mr Kapil Sibals logic, students who dont get to study - ie slumdwellers, villagers etc are stressfree coz they dont have exams? Are they better off???
I prefer there should be enough digging before scraping it. What is the replacement strategy. How will you decide which group for whom ? Since selection of group is vital for the future of the student
