The War of the Boards

Does evaluation of papers still haunt students in state boards in West Bengal? That the state board has aimed to develop the content of their course and make the process of evaluation faster and transparent is still the talk of the town. But then there are also events of parents asking the schools affiliated to state boards to opt for a change and shift towards ICSE/CBSE.Students who have passed out from state board examinations still sulk about evaluation not matching the expectation of the students. Further complaints are that district schools are given preference. Why is it so? Can that be termed as a manipulation by the administration? Or is the infrastructure of the state board affiliated schools and management not equipped enough to aptly deal with the flood of students who study in these schools? Can we ever forget the apprehension and sleepless nights while expecting our board results that would shape our futures or at least make an immediate impact? Is making a shift towards a different board the right solution? What will make the state board authorities opt for a change? If so, then how comfortable will students be to adapt to such a change? Does the syllabus and teaching methodology really not up to the mark when considered with the Delhi Board?
