Yes, you heard it right. If all goes well by the plan, board
exams can make their come back at primary level as well. There was a meeting
held in New Delhi by Central Advisory Board for Education and all the states
has reached to a consensus that board exams need to be re-introduced at 5th
and 8th Standard. Smriti
Irani, Union minister of Human Resource Development headed this meeting and
school education minister Paras Jain was also present in this meeting.
The main reason behind taking these steps is the decrease in
quality of the education level of the students because of provision of not to
fail any students till 8th Standard. These provisions might not be
there from next year.
Because of the above mentioned provision it is very
difficult for schools to assess the performance of the teachers as well. This requirement also felt in the light of
Right to education act which further saw the decline in the education level of
students.
Students preparing for 10th and 12th
class board exams had to go under so much stress. That made them to take some
drastic steps and because of this new provision was introduced at that time. So
all those element should be taken care off. Kids at these levels are too young
to handle any kind of pressure. How to make the environment conducive to carry
out these exams is important? Also, the role of parents and teachers should be
clearly defined and they should not let students get into number games.
We will keep posting about the latest updates in this
regard.
