Rs.500/-per Month as Scholarship for Lone Ward in Classes XI, XII

The CBSE has finally stepped in to take the girl child under its wings. After private schools all over the country raised a hue and cry against the freeship offered to single girl child, the board has come forward and announced scholarships of Rs500 per month for every single girl child in classes XI and XII who has scored 60% or above in her class X board examinations.

These scholarships will be offered only to students of the schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000 and will come into effect from the 2006-2007 session. “Instead of asking schools to waive fees, we have decided to take the responsibility on ourselves. These scholarships are aimed at promoting single girl child. Any student serious about her studies will get a chance to continue her education after Class X,” said board chairman Ashok Ganguly.

In order to implement the scheme, the board would require parents of such children to swear in an affidavit. Parents will also have to intimate the school as well as CBSE in case there is any change in the single status of the child. And in case the affidavit turns out to be false, the board may even withhold the certificates of such children.

“It’s a hassle-free, self-selecting process. Board-exam score is the only parameter for the scholarship. And this particular parameter is being used because we want to avoid nepotism and make this a free and fair system,” said Ganguly. The only criteria is that the scheme is open to students in schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000. “Students in schools where the monthly fee is above Rs1, 000 will not be eligible for the scholarship. Which effectively means that the scholarship does not aim to benefit a child from a very affluent background,” added Ganguly.

And depending on the success of the scheme, the board has hinted that it could consider offering similar scholarships at a lower class as well. “In our country, many kids drop out of school even before reaching class X level so sometime in the future, we could even consider classes IX and X or more for it,” added Ganguly. The CBSE has also reiterated its earlier demand to schools to extend fee waivers to single girl children.

Allows 15-Min Cool-Off Time, To Overlook Some Spelling Errors

The CBSE may not go blanket soft on spellings as yet, but it has decided to take it easy What will be a mild reprieve for students is that from this year, marks will be deducted for spellings only if the particular word is important in the context of the skills being tested. This was revealed by board chairman Ashok Ganguly on 15th Feb 06. The Class X CBSE examination begins on March 2 and Class XII examination begins on March 1. From Delhi, 2, 08, 532 students will be appearing for the Class X exam and 1, 51,679 for Class XII. The new approach means that while students will be penalised for spelling mistakes in the writing skills section, they might be able to get away with the same mistakes in reading skills. A mistake in spelling Aurangzebs name in the history paper may not be pardoned but anything less integral to the subject, may be. The boards de-stress regime has brought good news for students. Three subjects in Class X Maths Social Science and Science and five in Class XII Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Business Studies, can be answered in 2.5 hours. The exam time will remain 3 hours plus the 15 minutes cool-off time that is being introduced from this year. Ganguly said: This doesnt mean that the number of questions will be less or that they will be less difficult. The dimensions have been made such that 2.5 hours are enough to answer the paper. This is also the first time that the Class X social science paper will carry eight marks on disaster management. There is more good news for Class XII students. In an amendment to the existing exam bye-laws, the board has decided to allow students clearing five subjects to appear for the sixth subject in the same year, thus saving them the year and giving them option of sitting for competitive examinations the same year. The subjects in which alternatives are provided for visual questions, for the benefit of blind candidates, will now include economics too in class XII. Meanwhile, of the 529 exam centres in the city, 198 have been categorised as sensitive. They will have full-time observers stationed in them apart from the regular flying squads. Any centre which has more private candidates, or a school which has detained too many of its own students in the pre-boards is treated as sensitive. The past records are also taken into account, Ganguly said.

NCERT books may or may not be ready in time, but students in far-flung corners of the country are often deprived of the textbooks because of the absence of a proper distribution network. But now books will be made available online. Students and teachers would be able to access these books on the Internet as they are made public. The council has decided to not only increase the number of its distributors in the country and overseas wherever CBSE schools are operating. We have over 100 distributors in India, while books are shipped to overseas destinations like Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia where NCERT books are used. We will grant distributorships in all these countries and increase the number of distributors in India to 165 to cover distant areas better, said an NCERT official. Distribution of NCERT textbooks that are the most widely used publications in the country are basically monitored by the councils regional centres in Guwahati, Ahmedabad and Bangalore. But NCERT insiders say the present strength is not exactly adequate for handling the scope of the distribution process in the country. All CBSE schools, apart from many state-run schools use NCERT books. There are over 8,000 CBSE schools in India. This will allow teachers to go through the texts much before the academic session begins. Since the new syllabus comes into force for classes 3, 6, 9, 11 from 2006, this will prove to be crucial, said NCERT director Krishna Kumar. So far textbooks of subjects like English, Political science, (Geography, Business Studies, Accountancy, Psychology, Economics, Mathematic, Biology, Physics, and Social Science for Class XI and XII have been made available on the Internet. NCERT officials say that textbooks for senior classes will be put on the Internet first to allow both teachers and students to get a feel of whats in store for them next year. But part of the reason is also the fact that the Class XI syllabus was the last to get the syllabus monitoring committees approval last month. The syllabus for all the other lasses have already been approved and textbooks sent in or printing.

After a 17-year trial, a Delhi court has ruled against the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for undue delay and negligence in declaring the revised Class XII board exam marks of a student. CBSE did nothing to put an end to the shock, humiliation and trauma suffered by the complainant by delaying retotalling of his marks. The Board cannot escape its liability to pay damages for the agony and depression caused to him, additional district Judge G P Mittal said while fining CBSE Rs 10,000 for negligence of duty. Complainant Rajneesh Chandra Narang, presently a homeopathy practitioner and resident of Tagore Garden, had in the year 1988 appeared for his Class XII board exams held by CBSE. When the results came out, he found that he had scored high marks in all subjects except physics (52%), much against his expectations. He applied to the CBSE for retotalling his physics marks on May 23 the same year, on the condition that the Board would inform him of the outcome within 10-12 days. However, they got back to him only after 54 days (July 18), hampering the complainants chances of applying for any professional course.

The Delhi CBSE Class X result is a bit of a mixed bag. The pass percentage, at 60.84%, is up by 1.09% from the last year. Boys’ pass percentage is just 3.1% behind girls’. There are 3,010 students with scores of 90% and above and 163 have scored 100 in maths. In science, 54 students have hit a perfect 10, the highest in the country. But, on a national scale, the figures don’t look good. Delhi’s 60.84% pass percentage compares poorly with Chennai’s 90.74%, Ajmer’s 87.70%, Chandigarh’s 82.21% and Allahabad’s 80.60%.Countrywide, 13,853 students made it to the merit category.

Then, languages seem to have tripped city students big time. An abysmal 10 students got more than 97% in Hindi course B an option popular with private schools while no one made it to the merit list for course A.

Statistics:-

· Delhi’s pass percentage 60.84 up by 1.09%. Still compares poorly with Chennai (90%), Ajmer (87%) and Chandigrah (82%).

· 163 students scored 100 in maths. Guwahati (206), Chennai (203), Allahabad (1 82) far ahead

· Only 8 students managed higher than 97% in English. The figure in Allahabad is 49.

· Delhi outperforms other zones in science as 54 students score 100.

· 163 score 100 in maths

In contrast, Chennai came up with 122 winners. Again, in English, only eight got scores higher than 97% while Allahabad had 49 Students on the merit list.Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya: and Kendriya Vidyalayas came up trumps. Their pass percentage was 93.92% and90.82% respectively. And even though the 2005 Class X toppers are from private schools, the pass percentages of these institutions was only 86.36%, a drop from last year 87.10% and significantly lower than that of KVs and JNVs.Government schools logged shocking performance with only 48.03% students passing the exams. Incidentally, last year, it we a more respectable figure of 50.77% for them. Perhaps a reflection of the poor job Delhi government is doing in running the city schools

Did you know that Delhi students are really good in maths with 69 (most in India) scoring a 100 per cent in the subject? In comparison, Chennai, that saw the best overall results with a pass percentage of 90 per cent, has just 51 students with a 100 in the subject, according to figures provided by the CBSE. But Delhi’s grasp over English and Sanskrit isn’t great. Not a single student has scored over 93 in English (elective) in the Capital while no one has scored more than 97 in Sanskrit. . Chennai, on the other hand, has the English (elective) topper with 97. The topper in Sanskrit (core) is also from Chennai. The score: 100. Chennai students have shone overall in physics, chemistry and biology. Delhi, by comparison, just has two 100 per cents in physics, and one each in chemistry and biology. Delhi students also seem to be taking their political studies seriously. The political science topper with 97 is from Delhi. However, Allahabad has scored the best overall in the subject, with 126 students scoring 94 and above. Delhi’s students also have, it seems, a good sense of history 39 students scored 95 and above. Ajmer and Chennai follow with 25 and 15 students respectively in the same category. Overall, Delhi stood fourth among the cities with 77.61 per cent of its students clearing the examinations. Chennai is the topper with Ajmer and Chandigarh standing second and third. Though girls in Delhi beat the boys hollow with a pass percentage of 82.99 as compared to the boys’ 72.59 per cent, the boys have shown an improvement from last year’s pass percentage of 69.43. Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) have very good results with the highest pass percentage of 96.39 per cent in the Capital, a marginal dip from 97.49 last year. Independent and government-aided schools have a pass percentage of 81.28 per cent and 75.25 per cent respectively. Across the country, Central Tibetan Schools have shown that they are the best performers with the highest pass percentage of 93.14 per cent. KVs stood second with 92.47 per cent.
