It is good to know that steps have been initiated by the Board to improve performance of weak students. But about bright students who aspire to excel in academics and get admission in best colleges or professional institutions? It is suggested that the Board may also indicate the total aggregate marks of a student in the grade card which will facilitate his/her admission in a college.
It may be clearly understood that the grading system has been introduced only at secondary stage. Admission in colleges or professional institutions is done after senior Secondary stage where direct numerical scores are awarded.
The new scheme does not lead to dilution in academic attainments. The curriculum is simply being re-designed and the examination pattern and standard will be taken care of by the Board.
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. - Khalil Gibran
