The Cue of Change in education

 Welcome decision by the government to scrap the CBSE 12th board exam .....Here are the thoughts which are escaping from my mind right now....

May this decision helps us to wriggle out of notion of giving  too much importance we attach to the performance of a student in an exam.Having said that,Yes....exams are important to gauge how well you are prepared for the given subject....To asses the performance of a child under pressure...But even if one doesn't fare well in the exam ,still one can be  meted out with unfettered opportunities. The high noon of one's life can certainly  not be  decided by mere paper- pen. Some notions should be dislodged from the mind and be littered into the bins of the past time.

If the examinations were to have the same results for everyone ,then what in the first place an exam is for???The grades are meant to be different .Some should get more,some are bound to get less.

We have been so hard wired into judging someone by the marks that it will now take quite time and tweak to throw it out of the window.

A better  academic result can certainly not vouch for a better future and giving a cold shoulder subtly or clearly  to a child who performs badly is definitely not justified.

There are many instances of brilliant students ,the performance of whom doesn't hold candles before the mediocre brains in the later part of the life.

  The tricky part of exams is that as soon as you get through it,the sense of achievement wilts like a drooped flower. This doesn't mean that a child need to scrimp on his efforts.The only point is that we should give more room of acceptance  to mediocrity also. Pitching in to the motivation of a child and stop belittling him for his failures...this very behaviour will definitely start transporting the child to the brink of the best in him .

An education system should strive to empower the young minds...,make them understand success in the true sense.making them understand that there is a sea difference between being successful and being peaceful,striking the just right amount of balance housing the enormity of the dream and efforts to live that dream.

As the students are now motioning towards their dreams...I pray to God that all of them may find their right groove and fulfil their dreams with the tools like honesty  and perseverance. May all the opportunities be unlocked...

All d best
