Recently the results of Class XII Board exams were out (in Tamil Nadu). It is really heartening to note that many records were broken. Percentage of result has improved - all such records, statistics are out. Congratulations to all who have done a good job. All the students who have secured top positions and who have achieved 100% marks definitely need a pat on their backs.
As a matter of fact, all students who appeared for the exams - a grueling experience need appreciation whatever be the results. Usually the educationists claim that this examination system is good as long as we have not been able to evolve a better system of discriminating better from the ordinary. So every student needs praise for the very accomplishment of this exercise.
While we flash the outstanding results of the meritorious students, it is the need of the society that we get back to the years and batches of students or rather the toppers in yester years and analyse their present position. We should also analyse the students who had almost felt that they were ruined when their results were out. Some of them were saved from the brim of their losing life just for this one reason of not performing well in this 'board exam'.
CBSE and other educationists and psychologists have been trying to find a solution to it. While the process is on towards a positive trend, it is the awareness that the parents and the wiseacres should get makes it worth a mention.
Let us join hands to drive home the point that examinations are not the end. They are just a part of one's life process. Teachers and institutions should strive hard to educate themselves to accept the reality of life. Schools do not function only for preparing students for the exams.
As the world grows wider, population gets increased, opportunities are also abundant. I know I am only a tiny person to reiterate this point. Many scholars have sounded this view in much better manner and louder voice. But this message doesn't seem to reach the rigid hardcore people who are bent upon 'torturing' the students.
In my next post I shall touch the other extreme of people doing business out of the students.
Thank you
