A good thread posted by Ms. Srilakshmi to introspect upon.
The need for CBSE trained kids is a time tested affair, considering our education system and the umpteen disparity between both the Boards in question here ( CBSE vs Matriculation ). It’s a proven fact that students are immensely well imbibed at the grassroots with the gargantuan syllabus that they need to face, at a later stage of their lives, more particularly the challenging UPSC aegis Civil Services Exams, the Probationary Officers Exams for Nationalised Banks and also the Management Trainee Exams of most PSU’s in India. Mr. Lalit’s (alias Mechiuor) observation that his class had a pounding majority of State Board co-students for company is a one off case. IIT JEE, AIEEE, PMT and CAT exams requires the rock-solid base, which is well offered at CBSE schools,.
A plain conjecture could be made by rolling the pages of Social Sciences subject among others in the CBSE national curriculum, which demonstrates the broader spectrum of the whole of Indian Diaspora and the General Studies, which are academically relevant when it comes to writing cogently over any issue. What’s more, students are predictably persevered towards maintaining a tab on the current events and converse the same in groups or address ad-lib at their school forums.
Matriculation Students are more focused on their particular State Ideologies and Social characteristics, thus missing the broader perception of India & the Globe as a whole.
CBSE schools, as many members have emphasized here, have the eerie yet effectual knack of bringing out the best from a child to present their individual inspirations, on what he/she has comprehended during initial readings and class lectures. Fostering of scientific proclivity, mathematical intellect and inquisitive Humanities penchant have always taken a vanguard with CBSE.
Mugging will in no way help any person in forming their own transcripts and thus the originality is lost, conveying the competent Examiner an erroneous pointer as to the student’s indulgence in his subjects.
Here the Matriculation schools fail to deliver inexorably, owing either due to their lack of qualified human resources or the locally educated tutors in their native argot, who confines mostly to text books as a source for evaluation, due to his own inherent lack in capacity to acknowledge advanced English presentations..
As for the newly framed out sweeping changes envisioned for the Assessments till the 10th Standard at CBSE, which stresses on the Grading system rather than the percentile structure, is unabashedly brilliant in initiative and calls for approbation of our intellectuals, though its downy hassle free implementation needs to be observed yet. The stress and strain associated with the percentile scheme has done away with, the evils of irresponsible parenting and percentage ravenous schools (and their equally gluttonous educators) clamoring aloud their upmanship game, The children no longer brood over their marks nor enter into a competitive continuous struggle, right from their seminal days.
CBSE scores heavily on the extracurricular activities too, as sustained significance is given to potential students who nurture in themselves those indispensable extra traits that make them come a full circle.
Matriculation has though not lagged behind in most of the fields that CBSE caters to, the only lacunae though, in an otherwise ideal core curriculum that they follow has its own advantages barring of course the preparatory grounds for the soaring challenges that lie ahead of a student.
CBSE education still blows its trumpet palpably with parents egos, making it the most vied after at the end of the day, if one needs an ideally wholesome program of study.
