The samacheer kalvi has kicked off an interesting debate.. last DMK govt wanted to standardize the different streams of education in the state under one umbrella. As usual a lot of pros and cons r there.. Tamil nadu is probably one of the weirdest states in India as it has so many different streams.. As such in India,we have CBSE & ICSE at an all India level.. Add to that the Cambridge IGSE of the hi fi public schools.. each state ahs its own state board.. In TN ladies & gentlemen, we have TN State board, Matric, Anglo Indian & OSLC.. Fortunately after 10th its just the one single state board.. TN is known for its cram carzy pattern and add to this this crazy combination of syllabi its hell for parents and students.. A such in TN, state board syllabus was considered ( may be still) a touch inferior.. Matric & Anglo Indian were considered tougher and even on par with CBSe at one time.. I had studied in Matric board from my 8th until 10th and it was crazy.. 11 subjects and total of 1100 marks... i did find Matric decent enuf as i could clear one level of NTSE during my 10th grade.. But as always its debatable.. As far as i have experienced CBSE is the best syllabus .. ICSE is crazy and IGSE is not that great.. We should aim to standardize and roll up all state syllabi to CBSE and do away with individual state boards.. we can localize the second language to the state concerned.. This will be useful as we prepare our students for higher education...this enables easy monitoring and updates to syllabus as per changing needs.. now a days an update to syllabus is like hell...
JJ is hell bent on reversing the trend started under last govt.. lets give politics a break and ensure that we bringin some standardization in education..
Samacheer Kalvi will ensure that private schools cant swindle more in the name of syllabus..
