100% marks are good but this is not a race…the pressure of numbers can make it difficult later

13 students, who stood first in the CBSE Class X results, which came two days ago, missed out on securing 100% with just one number. The ICSC board did not miss even a single number and two children stood first by securing 100% marks. So the first question that arises is what now? Will 10 more be given from next time for something like good behavior or 100% attendance… that means 100%+1%!!!

Numbers are low, so do you have great career options too

The trend of getting more than 90% marks is about 10-15 years old. So what happened at this point in time that the smart students who got 75-80% marks started getting more than ninety marks? Has there been a sudden jump in the IQ of children in the last few years? Or is there some other reason for this? Is this number race good for the children, for the society or is there some other aspect to it? We tried to get answers to these questions by talking to people working in the field of education.

How come 99-100% Number

Ranveer Singh, director of CBSE’s Dehradun Region, says that it is not that the IQ of a child who scores 100% is very good. Actually this means that he remained focused on his studies and on the syllabus. Apart from this, there are many things available now. Earlier there were neither so many resources nor so much guidance was available. Today’s children find a lot on their own, in this the Internet also helps a lot.

Ashutosh, who is associated with ‘Pratham’, an NGO working in the field of education, says that in fact there is so much emphasis on numbers in the entire system that parents, schools and education boards knowingly or unknowingly promote it. Earlier it was believed that there is ‘tight marking’ in the UP board but now that too has changed and ‘liberal marking’ has started happening there too.

Ranveer Singh denies this, he says that the process of copy checking in CBSE is so strong that there is no room for error in it and it is completely transparent.

Where will this number race take you?

Uttarakhand state chief Kailash Kandpal from the Azim Premji Foundation, an NGO working in the field of education, says that it has started like a rat race. Now it has become a problem for the children to come first. They are being asked what percentage came. Now even the children who got 95 percent marks are worried about where the numbers got cut.

Ranveer Singh says that the message that is being sent that everything is from marks, it is not right. This kind of competition should neither be brought to the board, nor should society be brought, nor should any education system be brought. Ranveer Singh says that it should not increase further.

Ashutosh says that we have assumed that nothing can happen without a number, so parents get themselves copied to bring the number to school and it comes in the news that sometimes they even fight for it.

Education has strayed from its original purpose?

Kandpal says that due to the rat race of numbers, education has deviated from its original purpose. The basic aim of education is to prepare citizens for an advanced society, who have the spirit of Justice, Liberty, Equality. In which direction Marx-oriented education will take children, what kind of society will be formed, questions arise on this. The idea that came in the middle in which grades were given was still better. But the most important thing is whether you are driven by whether the race of numbers is driving you or your education.

Ashutosh says that if we look at this trend only within the purview of the school system, then there will be some problem in understanding. It is related to the fierce competition environment in our society, in which no one is looking at your skills, values. In this, your measurable achievement – ​​like exams – is the whole emphasis on that. Because of this, the numbers of the children come but the personality does not develop.

Referring to a Facebook post, Ashutosh says that a child of class 10-12 who scores 98% cannot even wash his underwear after taking a bath. What kind of education are we giving, which does not even want to teach children to do their important work. In fact, the economic policies that we have, the basis for giving jobs, are something wrong. Values ​​are not needed here – you are skillful, honest, respect others, respect other’s opinion – who needs it?

CBSE Regional Director Ranveer Singh says that our school education should be so strong that the child should be strong academically, he should also be strong in character, he should be sensitive, curious and most importantly his confidence level should be such that he Be ready to do anything. Ranveer Singh believes that due to this race of numbers, there has been a decline in the level of education somewhere. To overcome this the three P’s have to be met… Parents (Guardian), Principal (Teacher) and Pupil (Student).

Liberalization and the race for numbers…

Does this race for numbers and the 100% trophy have anything to do with liberalisation? After the opening of the economy, money started coming to the people, so they wanted to spend it to get better education for their children. To meet this demand, private schools started opening rapidly and they started the game of percentage for their marketing?

In response to this question, Kailash Kandpal says that two important things have happened in the 90s. First there was liberalization, which brought money to the people. Second, there was talk of education for all i.e. education for all. At the same time, many programs like Basic Primary Education Program, Operation Black Board were started and later changed into Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. But there was a mistake in this that there was talk of education for all, but we did not have the preparation for it, we did not have the resources. The market took advantage of this and the market entered education. Although technically education is not a business. The school can either run a trust or a non-profit making society, but we all know that today the hospital is probably earning more than the school itself.

Ashutosh also says that after liberalization when money started coming to the people, then private schools, coaching, tuition centers also started as business. He says that if you want to teach in a ‘proper’ school from Delhi to Dehradun, then you will have to pay at least Rs 1,00,000 in fees, the rest of the expenses are different. Apart from this, children will also have to send tuitions. The condition is that even the first-second children have to send tuitions and the reason for this is the race of numbers which is creating pressure of board examinations in the children till primary.

Commercialization of education…

Kailash Kandpal says that after liberalization, the commercialization of education in the market caused the most damage. Due to this, the equality on which education had to work to build a society was left behind because the market works on the basis of inequality. The reason for this started the race for percentage because schools started marketing campaigns for their marketing that so many of our children have achieved so many percentages. Many coaching students also started putting pictures of children studying from other places in their toppers list. Our education system failed to catch it.

Kailash Kandpal says that all this also happened that the political will to fix things ended. The main reason for this was the middle class. He says that the middle class lives under the influence of the market, it goes where the market takes them. This middle class has abandoned our government schools and government hospitals. He goes to private schools and private hospitals, he has dubbed government schools as dal-bhaat schools. Now since the middle class influences the affected politics, the political will to reform government schools has also ended.

Pressure on kids…

Ranveer Singh says that children who bring 99-100% can develop the feeling that ‘I know everything, no one is perfect from me’. The family should take care that this does not happen, keep counseling him properly. He says that children of class X and XII should not be highlighted so much that they become overconfident or come under pressure. Do not give such encouragement that the child may stumble in the next step he is going to take in technical education.

Dr Shobhit Garg, professor of psychology at Mahant Indresh Hospital in Dehradun also supports this point. The pressure of performing increases on the children who are getting 99-100% marks. As you move up to higher standards of studies, it becomes difficult to achieve big, perform well. This increases the fear of failure in the child. It is said that if excess of everything is bad, then there will always be pressure to bring 100%, then the internal pressure on it will increase a lot.

Are toppers losing their childhood?

The children who are getting 99-100% marks, obviously they are putting 100% of their abilities in it. Has it not taken away his childhood?

Dr Shobhit Garg says that we should not study according to numbers, we should make it a fun process. Two things are very important in the recycling that happens to refresh our mind – enough sleep and play. If we are continuously putting the child in the process of studies, then we should keep in mind that the child must play for one to two hours. With this, he will be able to keep the processing of his brain fresh. Otherwise, when the child reaches the higher level, he may have trouble.

….So

Kandpal says that this race for numbers will cause further damage to education and society.

Dr Shobhit Garg says that if the child enjoys studies, he understands the subject properly, if the child’s understanding is good, then 100% is not coming, then there is no harm in it.
