Respected Sir,
Subject : Need to combat the increasing stress faced by students.
I wish to bring to your notice the fact that students are facing a lot of stress nowadays. A look at their huge school bags itself gives us an idea of their burden. At their age learning should be a joy and not a burden. Their inquisitive minds should be enriched by education.
Education should help them to express their latent talents. But nowadays the curriculum is such that bookish knowledge is given more importance. Students are burdened with homework and do not get any time to develop other skills. Sports are neglected. Even during holidays they are expected to do a large amount of holiday homework.
Examinations are considered to be very important. The huge syllabus to be learnt for the examinations is a nightmare for students.
The system of education should be reformed and equal importance should be given to classwork and homework. Examinations should not be the only criteria of assessment. Practical work and other activities should be given due importance. There should be a Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation of their performance.
I will be very grateful, if you could promote awareness about these problems and work for the implementation of suitable measures to get rid of them.
Yours Sincerely
Vidya
Hope it helps you.
Thank you!
