The approval of the State Government to reduce the cards for class x from 35 to 33 caused a mixed reaction of the parties involved. While the decisions of private schools and the Association of Parents welcomed this decision, teachers opposed it.
On Thursday, the state government issued an announcement of a Bulletin reducing the percentage of passage for SSLC exams from 35 to 33.
Developmental educational vice -president Niranjanaradhya said that this step was a reflection of “our educational bankruptcy and poor quality education”. “The requirement of a 33% grade for passing class X was formed during the colonial era, which was introduced with the first register test in 1858. The British, who had 65 average passage in their country, came up with a standard that is based on contempt, contempt and discrimination, and thought the Indians were” half capable “as their own citizens.
“We have now completed about 165 (1858-2025) years of education and it is necessary to increase the average percentage of passage to at least 50% and minimal brand marks to at least 40. Instead, we are returning,” he argued.
The decision of private schools and the Association of Parents
The associated management of English secondary schools in Karnataka (KAMS), the organization of the private school, welcomed this step. “The decision will provide justice to the Crore children studying state curriculum,” said Shashikumar D., General Secretary of Kams. Furthermore, it urged that 125 brands assigned to the first language be reduced to 100.
The Coordination Coordination Committee for the Karnataka Parental Association also welcomed this step and stated that this notification would help to eliminate discrimination between students of central curriculum and state curriculum. And it is of the opinion that class X results will increase.
“For many years, discrimination in CBSE and state curriculum results for class X students have been discriminated.
The percentage of passage for II PU has also decreased to 33
