Education commission
Education is said to be the backbone of a nation. But it is a matter of great regret that even after 38 years of liberation no specific and effective education commission has yet been formed. As a result, the learners are being deprived of proper education and they will lag behind in any competition in the age of globalisation. So the govt. should take necessary steps to form such an education commission which will be acceptable to all and will continue for 50 years at least. Having no such commission, changes are coming in the syllabus over and over again which are really harmful for the students. In light of it, I can't but mention a point here that education policy makers have included 40 marks in the syllabus for grammar for the learners of class 9 and 10 and there are 9 items of grammar for 40 marks and any 8 items carrying 5 marks each are set up in the question papers. Transformation of sentences is one of them. Here the thing to be noticed is that for 5 marks the students have to study at least 4 items of grammar. They are- sentences (according to meaning), sentences (according to structure), voice change, degree of comparison, etc. But in another 7 items this is not done. Now it can be said that this type of questions is quite unreasonable. In this case my suggestion is that it would be better to increase the number of grammatical items to 12 items (existing 9 items + i. sentences-both kinds, ii. voice change, iii. degree of comparison) instead of 9 and the students will answer the same items out of 12. And if it is done, the students will be benefited. Above all, a specific education commission is a must to develop the nation.
