Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — child safety in education

Hello madam,

I am a parent of cbse student. This is regarding the cbse system of examination. You may have heard about the change made by cbse board to change the academic pattern and conduct the examination annually instead of two terms. They have to study the whole syllabus in one final examination

This change is disturbing the students mental as well as physical state. They are so tensed that they lost their confidence and whatever they studied before also forgotten. As a parent i always give support to my child, but i fear they may break sometimes. It is like they have been taken to the centre of ocean without the knowledge of deep swimming. I wrote grievance in beginning of the academic year, but no response from them.

Now it is her revision time, and i knew how much portion they have to study for this exam. For social science they have 22 chapters and one day gap is given in between for it. The portions are so vast and it is out of their limit.

From next year onwards cbse has been decided to reduce the portion by 50 percent saying that the potions are more than that of ba or bcom. It means this year these students are writing the exams out of their capacity more over they don't have the prior experience of writing or studying full term. They should have implimented the new system after reducing the syllabus. What will they do now. They are feeling hopeless. If they can give the important points needed for exam to make their burden less or reduce the portion also will give some help.

We are sending our children to cbse schools bearing much expense than government schools. They are not considering about the mental wellbeing of the students. They are simply playing with their future and life.

Now we dont have anyone to contact for help other than child rights. As a human being, children also have the right to be stress free. I request you take necessary steps to protect these children. I beg you not destroy them and their life in this budding stage. It is for all the 10th standard cbse students who write the heaviest exam of their life.. Please..
Thanking you
