In Tamil Nadu, government schools work to educate poor and middle class students. Following the Plus 1 and Plus 2 general exams, the exams for class 10 students started yesterday.
In this case, in some areas including Coimbatore, the students and teachers are confused because the sample exam has been suddenly announced for the students from sixth to ninth standard. The authors said:
In Coimbatore district, two days ago, the Principal Education Officer has ordered to conduct a sample examination from today (yesterday, 6th) to 17th, from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm.
Due to the lack of proper information in advance, the students could not be prepared.
It was advised to conduct various competitions, quizzes and awareness programs from last January.
In an environment where the subjects cannot be conducted completely, sample examinations are conducted on a hasty basis.
There is no information about the subjects for this exam. Students have been advised to take a copy of the question paper sent online by the education department and give it to the students to conduct the examination.
However, it is not known that any order came from the higher officials of the education department to conduct this examination; There is no information on whether it has arrived.
We have been forced to follow the order to conduct the examination without planning. At present, most of the high school and secondary school teachers have gone for public examination work. Due to this, as the examination is conducted by the teachers in the school, it is not possible to monitor the students completely.
In this case, it has been announced that the school final examination conducted by the government will be held from 11th to 24th. If there is advice to conduct the exam in this way, then there will be a situation where the mock exam and the exam announced by the government will have to be written on the same day.
In that, there will be confusion as to which exam the student will write and which exam will be conducted by the teachers.
Also, students are prone to depression when they are constantly taking exams. Although the examination is conducted to alleviate the fear of the students, the notifications do not come in advance.
Students are not even given enough time to prepare. This causes stress. To avoid such confusion, the authorities should issue a clear notification.
Thus, the authors said.
Choose to overcome fear!
Coimbatore District Principal Education Officer Bhupathi said, “Sample exams are conducted to prepare the students for the exam. We provide substitute teachers to the school for those who have gone for the exam. It is conducted to remove the fear of the students and give them training to write the exam. There is no confusion in this,” he said.
