CBSE vs ICSE

The modifications being carried out by the CBSE for evaluating students in their school certificate examination is indeed paving the way for utter destruction and a fast ride towards doomsday. At the age when students should be busy acquiring knowledge, they are being let free to carry out truancy in any form. If the pressure of performing well in the examination is not there, students will rarely sit with books, and with the high level of intelligence they are born with, it will not take much time for them to get involved in wrongful activities, which will destroy their future. Moreover, when they reach the age of seeking a job, they will not qualify for one as the habit of studying and being serious is not there. And if by chance they enter into some profession, we can imagine the standard of that profession. What is the future of a nation which will have doctors who cannot study, or take stress, engineers who cannot be sincere for long, teachers who cannot read or write for long, and lawyers who cant remember...?Most of the people cannot write a simple application, and make numerous spelling mistakes, what is their destiny? and the destiny of the nation in their hands? On the contrary, ICSE students will definitely have an upper hand in every field, and emerge as perfectionists. Looking back at our gurukul system of education, achieving perfection was the main target of those seeking education and degrees were not conferred until the guru was entirely satisfied with the students' learning. Education needs to be attained with deep sincerity and concentration. It is something beyond textbooks and assessments.
