As long as Maharashtra State Board is concerned, there have been lots of changes in educational pattern. They were designed by learned people with experience and trying various experiments.
The way we used to study twenty years back is very different from the way my kids are study.
In earlier times, there were exams, they used get evaluated and yes, there were marks. There were talented students who used to get good marks and there were others. I don’t think it is discrimination. If one studies hard, understands better, or just memorizes well, they can be considered talented.
But then on, students with less marks felt discriminated and depressed.
System evolved and now there are grades. I don’t know how exactly grade don’t discriminate and marks don’t. But still, these friendly, spoon fed exams give great results. Everyone is happy. Even for board exams, they can choose best of five so, almost everyone has above ninety percent. Admission closes by ninety five- six percent.
Thousands of colleges create such thousands of engineers of course with great grades. But what’s the quality?
Do they know grammar and language, laws and formulae, latitudes and longitudes? How they are going to survive with spoon feeding from school days? The syllabus should be cohesive, lovable, easy to digest…no burden on little ones but what about future?
When they face real world, are they able to clear any interview with basic understanding of subject? We have to study that as well. There is a huge gap. That data needs consideration. IQ and EQ both need to be addressed. Hard work has no excuse!! If one wants to achieve something they have to study hard and have to face failures. Otherwise they will face these failures after before starting their careers.
