That is why they make the curriculum so tough for the hapless students and parents. All the things that are unwanted in life are taught in the schools. The goal is to make all students scientists,engineers and doctors.
But the reality is that only less than 5 percent of indian population will become scientists, doctors or engineers and the rest has to do other jobs, whether they like it or not. Then why should the 90% of students who would not become scientists, engineers or doctors be spared of this torture at school -being forced to learn so tough subjects written by Coolie teachers of SCERT in substandard English
Given below is an excerpt from the social science text book of Class X in State syllabus.
"The Renaissance ideas of rationalism and
humanism were repeated in the age of
Enlightenment also. Enlightenment was an
advancement in the intellectual activities of
man which tried to explain the natural world
and the role of man in it in the light of
rationalism. The conflict between religious
faith and rationalism was the feature of
Enlightenment. The Enlightenment thinkers
tried to understand and explain things in the
light of reason based on facts and evidences."
Have you understood anything? I am a person with post graduation from some premier institutions and who scored 96 percentile in the GMAT exam. I myself find this content and language obnoxious. It is sure to make children hate history itself and run away from the subject if someone mentions the word itself.
Why do our educational administrators take some sincere effort to make textbooks in such a way that the contents are presented in a more comprehensible manner using good English?
