Exams are usually conducted to judge the merit of a student after successfully completing a lesson or a course. The Central Board of Secondary Education, in a revolutionary amendment, decided to abolish the compulsory exam after 10th class and to inject the idea slowly, they have made it optional for those who are appearing in the Board Class Exam (10th) in the year 2010. The decision is not praiseworthy as it has lots of drawbacks. A student’s merit can perfectly be judged by the experts of the board and it’s a proven fact. If he is a weak one, he will intend to face the school exam instead of the board exam. His main target, then, is to pass the exam. The school teachers are usually familiar to him or her. Taking the opportunity of it, the school teachers will be inclined towards tuition. Thus maximum board candidates, who fear to face the Board exam, will be capable of scoring good marks by simply taking tuition from school teachers. A survey reveals the fact that, at present, a huge percentage of the students of reputed private schools of NE region including Agartala have taken the advantage of Private Tuition from school teachers for scoring Good marks in summative assessment test. Thus the main aim of making the matriculation exam an optional one, will be spoiled. Poor students, who have no ability to keep tuition, will face hardship in study in near future. It’s a bourgeois decision on he part of the Ministry of Human resource Development, a brainchild of Kapil Sibal.. On the other hand, weak students, who belong to affluent family, can easily score good marks by taking tuition from school teachers. I hope the Govt. should think twice before implementing such a sensitive decision which may mar the entire education system, though provisions have been kept in Right To Education, to ban Private tuition in any form by the School teachers. But, it will definitely take time to implement such a decision.
