2014 is surely going to be great for all the class X and XII students.ย They seriously wouldn’t have asked for anything more !ย A brand new year and a brand newย Experimentย by theย Central Board for Secondary Education aka CBSE.
The board has decided toย loadย the examination question papers with theย formulasย so that a student doesn’t need to memorize them. This step has been taken toย discourageย ROTE learning (something that I just learnt in Artificial Intelligence :P)ย Theย board feels that student should be more application oriented and this step will ensure that the students learn to apply the correct formula from a set. This (board feels)ย will encourage application based learning.
Well, ย I certainly wish this thing had been implement 4-6 years ago, atleast students (including me :P)ย wouldn’t have had to memorize thoseย humongous, monstrousย formulas (did give me nightmares !).ย And that would the ensured that the present generation would have been a bit more application oriented !
Better late than never CBSE. Let’s hope thisย schemeย will benefit the students and do some good to the Education System in India. I certainly don’t support the CGPA system that it introduced or the optional board exams for the class X students. I feel that hasn’t done any good to the education system.
Nevertheless, all the students have a great New Year ahead ! All the best for the upcoming board exams !
