Over the years, board exams have become a part and parcel of every

students life. The success or failure in these exams holds the key to a
students academic future. Children and parents often lay excessive
importance over performance in the exams thereby creating great stress
for youngsters. Should a mere examination be given such great importance
in a childs life that failure or for that matter a lesser percentage can lead
him to face acute depression or consequences as graver as suicide? With
Union Human Resource Development minister Kapil Sibals appeal to scrap
the Class 10 board examination, will standard 10 students as well as parents
heave a sigh of relief? Will we see an alternate system other than exams
created in India?
Sir,
I guess implementation of grading system will definitely decrease the stress
on student regarding scores. It will reduce competition but on the other
hand it will increase the number of student who will get good job
opportunities as currently a child getting 97% marks will be given more
preference in relative to one getting 90%. But after the implementation of
grading system both will have A+ as their score and so both of them will be
given equal preference and thus on the basis of interview a positive result
will be out. Whereas currently a good score is what matters and not the
creativity and other skills that too are equally important.
Also,
Student getting A+ will be treated studious and good ( in equal terms not
like one is better and the other is best ) thus the number of good student
would increase and so various options that are currently eligibe for those
getting above 95% marks would also be aligible for ones getting above
90% i.e ones getting A+. So, this way a larger number of student would be
stress free and would be enjoying the opprtunities which they currently
can't dream of.
And competition currently is touching great heights so it has to be reduced
and there's nothing bad in that because earlier when the competition was
less then too the student were prospering as they are today. And even if
there's a need to increase the competition then the board community can
put up difficult questions in the exam papers and as required even harder
ones can be put, this way less student will get A+ and thus increasing the
competition. But atleast that time the competition could be controlled by
the board community as required unlike today, where it is increasing every
year and has reached so great heights that the student are even comitting
suicide. Just for increasing competition we cannot let student commit suicide.
So you see its good if the grading system gets implemented.
And Yes, I Am Totally in favour of this new grading system that is in
thought of being implemented.
