Today's morning newspaper threw up shocker of a news , there was a news report about plans by Karnataka Education ministry to provide new kind of reservation for non-merit students!
I know this sounds crazy but these guys seem set on making Arjun Singh's Mandal-2 look like nothing in comparision. What these guys want is reservation all private schools for students scoring 35-50 % !!!
The reason given for this absurd proposal is that inorder to maintain ther 100% pass rate private school managements have very strict admission criterion and dont admit students who have low marks and infact you need to score close 90 to get into top schools which acc to these guys is bad , hence the need for quota to sneak in non-performers ! The report further stated that there was plan for certain % reserserved for students scoring 35-50 % , and some for the next set and so on ...
I simple cant understand , how do ppl come up with such ideas !
Please dont tell me the logic behind this is that even bad students deserve chances ...
On paper the idea sounds nice , but how do u find out possibly good students out of bad students , I wud say its highly impossible.
If poor performers are given backdoor entry , how do u expect students to be motivated enough to put all that extra effort and score really good marks ?
India were riding high because our education system (though kinda faulty)ensured that there was a a huge competetion and you had to struggle a lot and put in a lot of hard work to stay ahead in the race , which helped them do really well when competing with others across the globe. Now we seem set to spoil that also !
What next , reserving 50% of college seats for non-merit , 50% of jobs for non-merit guys ?
At this rate we should not be surprised if they come up with a new ministry called "Reservation Ministry" to do come up with more such possible reservations !
