Sibal makes it easy for students
The Union human resources development minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, proposed big bang education reforms, envisaging a single school board to be set up at the all-India level, replacing all state-level boards, and to make the board examination at the Class 10 level optional for students.
The minister said it was not possible to do away with the Class 10 board examination altogether for a number of reasons. Those students who do not intend to leave school or change schools after Class 10 should not have to sit for Class 10 board exams. For them internal assessments should be enough to move up to Class 11, he said.
Later, he cautioned students hopeful of immediate reforms that it was not going to happen this year, or even next year. Study hard, he urged them.
There was an urgent need to reform the entire process, he said, adding that this would be done after a consensus was arrived at with the state governments.
