STILL ON PUBLIC EXAM MASS FAILURE

While the basic principles of pedagogy are designed

to provide learners with the best education, they’re

completely ineffective if students do not have the

desire to learn. I repeat we have blamed the education system a lot ignoring the culpability of the students. The students we have today are very lucky as they have access to informations.


Unfortunately they have failed to utilise the opportunity to achieve the required result. In the past, students did not have such access like todays students. Teachers were their major source of information. Teaching was teacher- centred as students had little access to information.


Despite this, the olden days students were making it.

How many students are burning midnight oil as it was done in the past? I can still remember vividly how we used to lock ourselves up in the library carrel so that we could study with sedulous concentration. Our vicissitude was tackling classroom duties and studies.


Today these attitudes are no longer found among the

students. What we see now are students who find reading a ponderous task. When a student does not have an aptitude for reading and learning, what else

do you expect from the student? Teachers are always

looking for a positive way to goad their students into

reading more, but their efforts are being frustrated by the students. The teaching sagacity that makes students to pass are still there but the inability to utilise them by the students is the problem.


The students should tow the path of the olden days

students. Reading wide is the key to success. The

corollary of learning has a heavy reward. With it, there is no exam conundrum that one cannot answer. Be it Maths that is the bane of existence of many students.
