I really wonder how Mr. Sibbal's decision to do away with % marks And optional board exams is going to ease burden on children who should be made strong in this billion people world. TV channels ( Times now ) is seconding this decision by showing that yesterday a girl from Delhi committed suicide as she could not get into college of her choice, owing to reason that she was short of 2% marks to make it to admission list. But the question is how replacing the %age system is going to avoid these kind of tragedies ? The point of contention, although the girl secured 92% in this particular case, is students are dejected by not getting into top colleges or in top coures where their rivals get admitted or in colleges where their parents expected to get admition and so on..... and not because they scored less marks.
How the new system will ensure everybody will get course and college of choice? Is this the change for the sake of change? In my opinion, one thing is sure, however you try to make education across India at same level there would be yawning gap beween quality of education in differnt schools owing to reasons as varied as finger prints. Hence we should let pattern develope naturally and adopt procedures in best schools in other schools gradually. I think Sudden change like this will ceate confusion as I am pretty sure this will not ease problems which have to be solved at some other level, and in some other way.
