Mr Kapil Sibal should have first examined the Kerala experience. Its Education Minister M.A. Baby has ruined the school and secondary education as the marks or grades carry no significance. For reducing stress, the evaluation system has been made simpler and every student qualifies in the examination. There is no competition up to the age of 17 in Kerala. But after that, students will have to face tougher tests. Of the 56,000 candidates in the MBBS entrance, only 1,800 were found eligible this year!
While parents and teachers can regulate the examination stress of the students, the government should conduct the examinations in a nobler way. Stress manifests itself physically and mentally throughout one’s life. So, scrapping the Class X Board exam will be illogical.
