Bravo! What a great idea, Sirji, and this is better late than never. It isn't worth seeing students writing Class 10 as board exams.
One need not worry really, even if the question of regulating admissions into colleges after Class Xth exams comes up for discussion.
The most important factor in abolishing the board exams is that students become unreasonably pathetic thinking about their Boards even as their overall results and confidence levels get to suffer.
Uniformity in the results will come to the fore. The school results will now vary from school to school and that, thankfully, will become a saving grace for school administrators everywhere. Children will become stern in their studies; at least they don't have to mangle their mind's peace thinking about the Boards and getting goosebumps and jitters all the way to the exam hall.
Anomalies in the form of the various School Boards' initial reactions may come up for an intense debate but they can be stubbed out for everybody's good. Let's do away with the Boards system now. I congratulate Mr. Sibal for thinking out of the box.
Alas, the state governments of our country will be ready to take this up on a war footing as this would save them a lot of money and other pointless work relating to the preparation for the Boards every year; plus, in a way students and parents will never have to face those authorities who think that they have to constantly throw worthless hardships on the student's path!
At least, in some cases, their supposed high-handedness will die out forever.
