Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal has proposed radical changes in school education in India. He wants to "de-traumatise" education by making the Class 10 Board Exams optional; he wants to create a single and pan-Indian board for Class 12 exams and he wants to replace marks by grades in Classes 9 and 10 of CBSE-affiliated schools. He wants an independent accreditation body for school education and he wants to enact the Children's Right to Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
He wants to encourage private investments in education; he wants to review the functioning of existing deemed universities and he wants a regulatory authority in higher education in which "there would be no political interference."
What impact they will have if they are implemented?
I both liked and disliked few of his decisions. I don't think whatever decisions written in 1st paragraph is a good idea. I mean, it may work to some extent but our traditional way was better. SSC exams not only checked the child's seriousness in an early age but also made him mentally prepared for the study pressure he will face in Hsc. The marks system induced competition among the students which made them more competant and serious which will get reduced by grades.
But I really liked some of his decisions which will help the students only. Decisions like no political interface in education, review of working of deemed universities, private investments in educations, Children's Right to Free and Compulsory Education Bill etc will help more and more students to get education.....

Very sorry to say but its irrational and politically incorrect. And I think, our FM is far better visionary and intellectual. And none can raise a question on the economic front of India's progress. Aren't we growing at 8.9 GDP? Aren't we the second... |
