I completely disagree with this idea of scrapping the board exams.I am in 11th and so i quite know that this issue is being made a mountain hill from a mole.The std.10 exams are a way for the students to prove their mettle and test what they have learnt so far and where they stand in the huge slew of students giving the exam.Also ,what will happen to those schools which do not have the facility and faculty to teach junior and senior college students?I think all the aspects,the pros as well as the cons,should be weighed before taking such a massive step.

im very glad dat mr sibal is plannin 4 a grt idea. m in 10th n i myself face a lot f stress ,tension ,and a grt burden 4 studies..v agree wid others who think dat 10th scrapin is not good.but listen ppl we learn our 10th not with our wish and v dnt even get a bit pleasure in learnin so,,,its bcaz v r learnin d subjects wich is not at all useful in our courier. but 12th board is not what is 10th. 12th studies are truely based on our interest. so v do not feel much tensed as what we are facing in 10th.not only v students but our parents r mre stresd n hav got a lot f health props caz of our board. v mug up rather dan learning caz our full thoughts are just to finish d sylabbus n if u ppl say all the props r based on how we handle,then we have an answer that we want to live happy and we are the students who are suffering with more props its not what u ppl have learnt wen u wer young.world has changd n mre to study ,so pls leave us alone n dnt put ur ego in our business.

I think X Board should be scraped .I myself am a student of class X and now I realise the tension,stress and fear of the Board exam.These exams are over burdening us.We need a break from all these tutions,tests and work load.

xth board examination must b scrapped. i myself is in nineth standard and i can realize the tension,stress,and anxiety of the students at this stage.i study all day long,i don't even get time to relax a bit and as far as weekends are concerened they r stressful too.the education system of india has made us slaves.we people always study with a motto to finish our syllabus as soon as possible but not to understand it thorooghly just becoz of the burden!!!!!i strongly believe that mr. sibal ha taken a right decision....to stop the cases of suicids that occure every year ther is a need to stop the systems of bord..whenever it comes to scrap the board examination says many people argue that after scrapping it students vill b come caeless for the studies but it is not like that after abolishing the board system students vill be more interested towards the studies bcoz they vill be free of burden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

v all agree that boards put a pressure on childs shoulders but still if a child cannot bear this stress then what he'll do when he grows up. rather than abolishing the boards they should actually change the pattern of studies. the curriculum which is just based on cramming

Its true that during board exams students do experience fear,tension and stress,but according to me,scrapping of 10 board exam is not a useful and effective solution for this problem.The tension during boards intensifies due to the pressure from their parents,teachers and peers;and not because of the actual exams.the 10th board makes a student familier with the atmosphere of tension and anxiety that he/she has to definitely face during 12th board.So i think that Mr Kapil Sibbal should recheck his decision

wenever xams r near students r under tremendous stress,fear and they r anxious..anxiety hamper recall and results in mental block during xam..adoloscents tend 2 percieve evrythng in emergency..moreover do u thnk 10th std marks do matter???evry1 says it builds up competition spirit..but does it really??and if it does,do u thnk dis age iz right 4 us 2 build competition spirit????n d students who get mere marks or below average marks,do u competition iz a fum 4 them??dis iz so sick...and illogical too..doesnt it matter 2 u all bout d heart attacks and suicides????it is not a child's play..how selfish!!i thnk scrapping of board exams is a must to save d teenagerz from d worries n tension n insomnia..even britishers have abolished grade system..think over it..jaago bharat jaago!!just pray dat sibal and hrd minister takes d right decision into consideration of scholars as well as "mere marks getters"..

I a student of class 9 ,completely disagree with mr. Sibal b'coz the children who commit sucide may be mentally weak . The boards have been a part of the system since a long time and why the need now to abolish them??? Also think abt the excellent students who get the chance to perform at a state level.Whatever happens must happen by keeping in mind that there are both good and bad students

when is the final decision being taken very nervous about this

i heartly agree wid MR.SIBAL.His action of scraping 10th board examinations would help 2 decrease d stress n burden which d average or lower than average students face during 10th.if taken in positive way it would help in gradual decrease of incidents like suicides which d students after geting lesss marks usually commit! so "scholars" plz dont b selfish and b broad minded n think 'bout the students who r average or under! thanz

i totally disagree. wats the need of educ. then? its obviously good for the guys who want to escape challenges.being in std.10 means the child is matured and is capable of appearing these exams. if not these wat will be the standard of identifying students. student scoring 60% and the one scoring 95% will be characterized same. its not at all fair. i think that sibal should retreat.

I think that 10 th exam should not be mandatory one,but alternative system which is common to all students in the country.Present system is highly benfitted to the private school and tution teachers who earns money from poor parents who pay all their savings for the sake providing basic education to the children.

Yes education today is stressful more at school level. A uniform board all over the country with similar course is important, giving English, Hindi as compulsory languages.

When is the final decision being taken???

I think MR.SIBAL should get into the reason why people are thinking 10th board examinations as a danger and should remove that not 10th board examinations. And according to me school teachers are making the 10th board examinatons danger and bringing parents and students under great depression and tension and MR.SIBAL should make his affords in removing this habit of teachers not 10th board examinations.

I think MR.SIBAL'S decision is the wrong decision of removing the 10th board examination because he feels that 10th board exam brings both parents and students under depression. It's correct. But for this we can't remove the 10th board exams. It will definately decrease the pressure over both parents and students. but when the child reaches 12th it will bring compartively more pressure and tension over parents and students because the child will be giving the board examination for the first and last time and his/her result will declare his further studies and it will also result in increasing the no of suicide cases. Moreover,10th board is the primary stage for the students where students learn to give board exams and the pattern of board exams so that they can perform well in 12th board and should get good college for their further studies.

For ll those who have casually posted such rash comments on this decision- pray are you tuition teachers?? You dont need to have been in the field for 20years to know that 10th board has caused hundreds of students to commit suicide.why? did you post comments then? leave alone the fact that it doesnt prepare a student for life long learning..so dont comment if you dont know..stick to your field of interest.

In a pathbreaking step towards reforming India’s school education system, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal ......Whose path is he breaking; most probably that of the deserving students, for these idiots escape all the time without even a scratch on them for any wrong doings and still manage to win elections. Be careful, citizens, this seems to me like a half cooked dish. The educationists need to be called in to dissect the idea and ponder the innards before any final decision is taken.

as there is a final level exam at 12th standard it is not necessary for conducting an exam at 10th std. before the introduction of plus 2 the 10th exam was the secondary school leaving certificate (s.s.l.c). now as there is final filter at 12th the 10th exam is not necessary. it is giving unnecessary overload for the school administration in preparing transfer certificates and other documents and to the state level board of examination office to conduct a large examination, valuation of the papers, announcing result, preparing marksheets for lakhs of pupils. we can also avoid the dropouts who are failed in the exam so that we can do certain achievements for sarva siksha abiyam scheme also.

I think the uniformity should be in raising the standards of education and not in lowering the standards.CBSE was enjoying a higher standards than the state level examinations .I am sure Kapil Sibal and all the proreservationists are going to screw up education for their own ulteriro ends

What are the merit of mr.sibal decisison?. No force or pressure for students to get high marks in state board exam.Poverty will be reduced because definetly to go to the higher studiesMore students willing to continue their studies after 10 std.In japan , from elementary level students to concentrade on the subject which students are familier with these subjects then more innovative ideas and to find more new things like etc , operate the robot .

Irrespective of whether Mr.Sibal's idea is good or bad, let us not forget that he won't get anywhere with this proposal. Once he says he wants to involve State Govts and State Education Boards, they will strongly oppose an idea that will reduce the relevance of 'Babu's who have been running these boards for a very long time and have made tons of money by misusing their power.

Whatever the final decisions may be, ICSE board shall not be affected in any way, as ICSE board is not under Mr. Sibal. So, is it right for half of the country to give board examinations and the rest to not? Unless ICSE board and Mr. Sibal reach a decision together, it is not wise for CBSE and state boards to not hold board exams and ICSE to do the same.
