For more “transparency and credibility”, the Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education (BOSE) is mulling to conduct the annual examination of 11th class students.
While BOSE conducts class 10th and 12th examinations, 11th class students have to undergo a sort-of ‘home examination’ conducted by the schools themselves.
A top-rung official at the BOSE told that the board was now mulling to conduct the examination itself.
Commenting over the non-seriousness of both the students as well as teachers in conducting the 11th class examination, he said, “Things do not transpire clearly from the examination in the respective schools.”
“It has been discussed time and again that there has been a local evaluation for 11th class at the school level. The school authorities do not take the examination seriously and randomly promote the candidates to class 12 en masse, as a result of which merit goes for a toss,” he said.
Unlike the schools, the official said, “There are additional measures put in place when the examination is conducted by the BOSE itself.”
“When it is a board examination, students take it seriously and study hard.”
“In schools, there are more chances of unfair means. Even the teachers take it lightly. They think that they have to promote the students anyway,” he said.
The final call on the decision, he said, was to be taken by the higher ups.
“If the government asks us to implement it, we will do it,” he said.
