Highereducation

Author :- Jaymala





In words of Einstein, \"EDUCATION is what remains after digit has forgotten everything he scholarly in school.\"

The global community today is in the appendage of immense competition. The scenario today is that of a rat race, everybody streaming mad in order to fetch a position, a rank, a post, a stable platform.

And this is taking a onerous toll on all of us, especially on the students of 21st century. In today’s world, there’s an unprecedented pressure on the student community, everyone wants 90% marks, each digit wants ‘A ‘ grades, everybody wants to be a topper!


But an supply arises, “Is the marks grouping or the grading grouping necessary?? Do grades justify the info of students? Can’t the marks/grades be done away with?”

Some people argue saying that if assessment grouping isn’t there; students won’t be earnest and would be indifferent to studies. I believe they are correct but only to a certain extent.

This is clearly indicated by the fact that there are still scores of students who don’t study when they are being evaluated in exams!


Further, is it true that marks or grades are true reflectors of a student's intelligence? Einstein failed miserably in his school but after rose to be digit of the most eminent physicists.



There are some instances when an average student is more successful than a brainy one. What needs to be noted here is the trouble being faced by the students to score higher. Thousands of students have committed suicides in past three years owning to examination stress.


The way of scoring higher has resulted in cramming and rote learning thereby degrading the calibre of education. The need of the hour is to do away with this system. Let the children blossom in the estate of creativity. Let their dreams separate wild.

Let not this grouping cripple their originality. An educational grouping without grades or marks would definitely lead to a more genuine, conducive and apprehensible environment for students.
