I ...You have the right and reasons to be indignant.<br />I agree with you in toto.<br />Way back in the seventies when Gujarat was cowed down by many months of student unrest, examinations were waived and that year all students on the roll were given pass. The result, those who were from Gujarat that year were denied admissions in universities in other states.<br />Quantity and quality is not the mantra, because of vote banks. Mediocrity has to be perpetuated, thought stifled or made of unimportance for the political clan to survive. If India of the ancient excelled intellectually, the country of tomorrow will grope in mediocrityanilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-21969775384673274002012-04-21T04:38:30.764+05:302012-04-21T04:38:30.764+05:30Similar problem is in Nigeria..but not from the go...Similar problem is in Nigeria..but not from the govt, but corrupt privateers, who sell the questions out. It is called 'micro chips, expo, missle, or bullet. When it is found out, some exam centers will be cancelled, or the date postphoned, and another batch of questions prepared...nevertheless, many still succeed. <br /><br />There is a common slang among students : Who reads, he is serious, who passes, he is brilliant. Yes! this affects them later in life when they are not able to pass post-UME exams into the university or aptitude tests to get a job.<br /><br />Mediocrity is celebrated in some schools and aspects of our existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-75359122577514451882012-04-20T21:44:49.832+05:302012-04-20T21:44:49.832+05:30Meera,

This malaise of not letting them use their brain is the crux of all problems these days. The exams are becoming easier, the question papers more predictable in the name of reducing pressure. I think our entire approach is going haywire. We want to have a holistic approach to education, but it is ending up being pedestrian and confused.Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-8582938489921666602012-04-20T12:02:30.102+05:302012-04-20T12:02:30.102+05:30Employ-ability of such student (mediocre)but bench...Employ-ability of such student (mediocre)but bench marked as brilliant is a reflection of the standards set up:(Rahul Bhatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690287853990880735noreply@blogger.com
