Indian Schools – Common curriculum; Single CET

Some may that the common syllabus closes options students have today to choose a board of their choice depending upon the children’s capabilities to cope up with the requirements and demands of different boards. But in the long run, a common syllabus for mathematics and science, and common CET for medical and engineering are worth much more for the students in terms of getting fair and equitable deals in admissions for higher and professional education.

The only worry is the corruption prevailing in the country in the education and Indian Administrative set ups. Appropriate committees of upright and sincere officers and educationists should be formed to implement and manage such an important decision. Periodic updating the syllabus, providing infrastructure support in semi-rural and rural areas and transparency in conducting the examinations in all India levels are some of the issues to be looked in to by the authorities. The reform steps are in right direction if implemented impartially.
