Examination reforms that focus on problem-solving, critical thinking and reasoning skills are critical to improving quality at the secondary level. Such reforms will change the teaching–learning processes and improve learning outcomes.

Moreover, Earlier we had Sanskrit as a subject in schools. But are teachers aware of the importance of Sanskrit that you are showing. They just make us to learn Sanskrit in order to secure marks and we have to rote learn it.

Regarding English, I would say that of course we dont need english to learn how Rainbow is formed, or what is Algebra or Phythogorous. It can be explained in any language. But the thing is most of the books are written in English as English is a global language. English is required for expansion of our mind. Don't you think if we learn only our local language (with poor English), our resource will be limited, so as our mind.

Dear Sudhanva Gundepally, we are not against Sanskrit. Sanskrit should be encouraged in higher education who want to do research on it. It can be a topic for specialization. But making it compulsory in schools is complete disaster. They should learn about the fundamentals that will be useful for them in higher education. We can't expect every child to do research on a forgotten language.

Dear Agarwalji, Thx for being here. pls listen to Rajiv Dixit on Sanskrit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oQ2LMp17qs I understd we don't have enough employment opport in Sanskrit, and as you said eventually you have to forget it. But the intention here is to utilize Sanskrit right from beginning thus learning technology easier. You dont need english to learn how Rainbow is formed, or what is Algebra or Phythogorous. Please listen to Rajiv Malhotra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l4bFz-foo4

Also,initial education be given in mother-tongue up to 5th grade ??? That would terribly reduce the English vocabs of a large fraction of students. I don't know if u r aware, but psychologists consider learning new language a very complicated process and claims that infants and kids learn them quite effectively. Kids don't really need to learn IN mother-tongue when they already use them at home ... mother-tongue is not something that will just lose.

Ravindra Gopal, making sanskrit compulsory will merely distract students from the educational requirements of modern era, i.e., Sciences and commerce. We had Sanskrit till class 8th. Even the toppers (including myself) would study it just for marks and then would forget it. Students interested in cultural arts would, quite probably, take such subjects in college anyway (assuming u want to emphasize culture reinforcement by means of mother-tongue and Sanskrit languages). Why burden majority ?

1) The CBSE and ICSC syllibi may be integrated with the state government syllabi. 2) Let the initial education be given in Mother tongue only at least upto 5th Standard. 3) Make English, Mother Tongue, Hindi and Sanskrit learning as mandatory. There should be no first/second/ third language. 4) Introduce Stastical Control Methods for the students in the 11th standard. These are Plotting of Histograms and analysing the data to draw conclusions with practicle examples.

In my opinion the elimentary and school level education shall be practical oriented than fully theoretical.. (should deal with real life issues)..only the students who are eligible to pass per class shall be passed..in stead of passing all students..by putting grace marks. The students should earn their marks.if the basic elementary and school education are strict enough with decipline and ethical view,then definitely their UG, PG will be like that,we get students with humanity and education.
