Padma Bhushan Mr.Yash Pal seems to have suggested
a mind-numbing(literally) idea of scrapping exams.And
Mr.Sibal is playing "race against time" in trying to
implement the mind-numbing idea in just 100 days.
Like the adage goes "pain is inevitable but suffering
is optional" and hence making exams optional!!!Excellent !
just satisfies the law of nature.
But what makes Mr.Sibal think that kids are pressurised
and in his words "traumatised" by exam is something vastly
beyond rugged comman sense!
The obverse is being conviniently overlooked.
kids are not pressurised by exams but by the famine
of oppurtuties in our nation.A lot of them cant deal
with the consequences of exams more than exams.
I hope a proper discourse
goes into this or he will have to come up with an equally effective way of gauging
a students capabilities,by which it doesnt remotely mean that exams ensure fine minds!!
