This is outrageous :-(
A girl who got >80% in SSLC commits suicide because she could not get state 1st rank!
The whole exam-mark-rank system that puts unnecessary stress on "by-hearting and measuring the whole school-life performance within a few hours" has to be thrown away :-(
I know how much pressure we went through for the ejjAms during SSLC & HSC.
Here my son is finishing his 12th this week and has absolutely no worries on exams as his score is measured thru-out the year and graded. No last minute tension / pressure.
Something has to be done about this madness :-(
