| The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams cause huge mental stress each year.
This year, Shubhangi Jain is appearing for her Class X Board exams. For past one year, she has made all possible efforts to do well in the Board exams. However, she is confident that she will continue to study in the same school, whatever the result may be.
Then, why to take so much pain about the Board exams?
NPSC gears up
Understanding the ordeal of lakhs of students appearing for Class X Board exams every year, the National Progressive Schools Conference (NPSC), a parent body to some 110 public schools, including Delhi Public School, Sardar Patel, Laxman Public School, has decided to start scrapping the Class X Board exams altogether for its member schools.
The body plans to start an evaluation system of its own.
''NPSC has mooted the idea to have an examination board of its own. After all, the students should also be assessed by the local board like NPSC,'' said SL Jain, chairman, NPSC.
This is an idea, which is more than worth welcoming by the students.
''Class X Boards are extremely stressful, since we have to compete at national level. If there is an examination board of NPSC, we will be more than comfortable to take such examination,'' said Shubhangi Jain, Class X student.
This was proposed in the 35th annual conference of NPSC last month. But thinkers at NPSC believe that the new Board cannot be established just at one go. It has to be done with a lot of research.
''We will first take up research of teaching methodology first, then move on to the evaluation. We plan to phase out the Class X Board exams by 2009 and then move on to the assessment system. But we also feel that parents should be taken into confidence before making any major change in the system,'' said Usha Ram, Principal, Laxman Public School.
