Jammu, Sep In response to the exemption of board exams to class 10th students by Ministry of Human Resource Development in Delhi few weeks ago, Ministry of Education here in the Sate of Jammu and Kashmir has made its mind to bring students of class 3rd and 5th under the siege of board examinations. Both governments as well as the ministers are of ruling Congress in Delhi and J&K but questions arise that upon which basis the ideology between the two differs. Whatsoever, may be the logic but freeing class 10th students from phobia of board exams is being lauded country wide and what would be the fate of students of class3rd and 5th here in J&K remains worth to watch for the coming days as Ministry of Education, Government of Jammu and Kashmir is desperate to go for board exams.
Uncertainty looms over the future of private school students as the difference of opinion between administration and the schools for implementation of board exams for minors continues. Despite resentment expressed by the private education institutions operators against the proposal the government still sticks to board examinations.
Government claims that the decision is important for raising standard of education among the students from lower classes. But experts contradict by raising fingers over the prevailing mess in 8th and 10th standards of board exams and justify their stand by linking the exercise with corrupt practices with the support of evidences.
Private school owners condemned the government’s intuition and feel that government is trying to hide the loopholes in the existing system. They hinted over last year’s class VIII result which became subject of strong criticism and scrutiny following allegations of undue favourtism to several undeserving candidates out of ulterior motives of the officials. The results latter was amended after several allegations were found true. Under such circumstances the move to introduce board examinations for class III and V seems illogical.
Seema Sharma, mother of a class IV student said that between the tussle of board exams, students are to be worst hit sufferers. Both the parties are adamant at their end and least concerned about the future of small children.
Sanju Kaul, mother of class III student said that Central Government (CBSE) is planning to abolish matriculation examination and state government is putting extra burden on the kids. This is totally unwarranted and unacceptable. If the result of government schools is not praiseworthy, that does not mean to add problems for the students of private schools who almost give 100% results. Prof. A.N. Sadhu, former Head of Economics Department University of Jammu, said that by introducing board exams for class III and V students is overburdening them as they are already under lot of stress and strain
