The decision of HRD Minister Kapil Sibbal to scrap or make the class ten exams optional did not sound good to me. I can easily remember my own board exam for 10. It was exiting more than challenging. At that time I had a dream to do better in that exam so that my own school could recognize my ability. Definitely many more students like me would have possessed same dream. But what now when board exam will be scrapped? The decision came in public domain when government came to know many suicide cases committed by student and leaving suicide notes which read that they were unable to borne the pressure of exam and had fear of not fulfilling the demand of parents. Citing that reason many of us favouring the government decision but sceptical lobby who opposed this decision are also there.
Why class 10 board exam grab attention of all irrespective of reach and poor, rural or urban? Simple reason is that, this is the first time when most of the student gets an opportunity to gauge their level of understanding against one another. We have a country of billion plus population where not a single field is easily achievable. If we want to move forward and pleased to make the difference then we must juggle against the crowd. If we see the decision in this respect then we realize that we are doing no good by scrapping the board exam but postponing the reality which we must have to face in future. Just after two year of board 10 exam we have to appear for class twelve examinations and other competitive examinations. Will the stress be lesser than exiting board 10 exams? Not at all even much more than what it was in class 10.If we apply the same suicide logic then we will come to conclusion that we must scrap the class 12 exam as well. Some of U can argue that maturity also matters in these suicide criteria. But I do not favour u because a mature person has more chance to commit suicide as against to a naive one.
Proper Solution--- So what should be the right approach at this point? What is the wrong with the class ten examinations? Should we change the exam or our attitude? Why we are seeking to ease the board 10 exams, not the competitive exams? One important point is that pressure on the students is due to the undue importance given to this exam. Not every student write JEE or IAS exam but not a single student can escaped from board 10 exams. Why parents expect more percentage in board exams from their children? People aspire for a good school and better percentage to realize their dream of entering in a good college. And after entering in a good college we aspire for a good job. It is the career which motivates us and our parents. Should we stop students from excelling in their career? No, this is not a solution. Despite of this we must provide career councilor to guide student in and after class 10. The work of the councilor will be to meet the parents of those students who are not doing well or have an abnormal attitude about the exams .Councilor have to guide the parents that do not enforce to their children about academic excellence. And change the attitude of expectation. Second important point is that Science subject looks more lucrative and offer more opportunity than arts one (most of us think like that but in reality it is not true). So this makes an extra reason to score well in class ten exams to get the science subject (This is the criteria in most of Indian school). Scrapping the exams makes even more complicate …………..will be continued this post Suggestion welcome.....
