10/625: That's all some students scored in SSLC results

Board desires to grasp what went fallacious; plans to assist these youngsters perform higher

At the time of board exam results, stories of blood, sweat and toil and tears bearing fruit make a perfect read. But toppers are a small percentage. What about the rest of the students? In the just lately concluded Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) class 10 board exam results, 4 scholars secured 625 on 625. But 607 scholars in the State from executive, aided and personal colleges scored single digit marks (not up to 10 marks) in all the six topics. This knowledge has been gathered for the first time by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) and it has left many wondering the way to prevent any such situation someday.

Academicians and professionals say it is a severe factor and the training department, academics and the school managements must cope with this.

Says V Sumangala, Director (examinations) KSEEB, “This is the first time now we have introduced this knowledge out. We’re also wondering how a scholar who has studied from class 1 up to 10 can get single digit marks in the board checks. We have many scholars who've scored zero in a few topics and these scholars don’t have any disabilities.’’

Armed with this knowledge, Sumangala says, so much will also be done to take measures to look that this doesn't occur in the following years. “We need to perform a little micro-level planning, and academics need to be ready for this. Whenever the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) meets all the principals, they must talk about this,” adds Sumangala.

As the exam director, Sumangala says it’s important to identify scholars who've performed badly and perceive what has long past fallacious. She adds, “Teachers must pay individual attention to such scholars of their classes. They have a job to play in serving to a kid achieve elementary skills and that are supposed to transform our focal point now.’’

VP Niranjanaradhya, an educationist running carefully with various teaching programs in the State said, “It is a significant issue which reflects higher problems in our training gadget. If a kid has studied from Class 1 to nine and in Class 10 he ratings single digit marks, then it method, on the faculty level, not anything has been efficient for him.” Since these scholars come from all categories of colleges, it’s a matter that can't be disregarded. ``We have such a lot to be informed from failures. We need to perceive what has contributed to their poor efficiency,” he adds.

Niranjanaradhya also says, “One factor is sure. Teachers must be in charge of minimum finding out outcomes.’’

Shashi Kumar D, essential of Blossoms School and general secretary of Associated Managements of Private Un-Aided English Medium Schools in Karnataka (KAMS) advised BM, “There are three primary reasons for this – in the beginning, the student might be physically eligible, however finding out may not have been on top of things. Since there may be the ‘No Detention Policy,’ scholars aren't interested by studies. Secondly, between six and 8 years of age, the child may not use his possible to be informed and in later years, may not have that possible to be informed. Thirdly, occasionally youngsters have a specific finding out incapacity, they can't take care of language or mathematics or a selected matter. These have an effect on their marks.”

Academicians say, such scholars need different types of instruction. Shashi Kumar adds, “We can determine them throughout the age of six years on the basis of ways brief they fall of their finding out milestones.’’
