SLC This Year (2010)

School Leaving Certificate (SLC) exams are going on across the country. SLC is supposed to be the Iron Gate for the students; it is because the time of ten years and the investment of huge sum of money are spent for the successful result in SLC. This is supposed to be the first step in the academic field.
Exams in a plain language are conducted simply to test the merit of students so as to qualify them for higher level further studies.
SLC really used to be an Iron Gate a few years ago but students take it as a house without a gate of any type; anybody can pass through this stage without a hitch. With the passage of time of chaos situation prevailing in the country, various ill-practices, misconduct, and anti-exam elements have been seen widely in every nook and cranny of the country. Chit-oriented atmosphere has made the students lame, incapable, uncompetitive, ultimately hollow. Teachers, students and guardians all are responsible for it. It's not as if students are merely responsible for it, the most responsible factor is the guardians who never want to see their children fail at any cost. So, they pressurize the teachers, guards, policemen, almost every to help their children pass with good percentage. They don't care what their children are learning; the thing they do want is a certificate in their children's name. It's the guardians who are messing up with the environment of exams for their children's so-called 'bright' future but are they really serious about their investment and their children's ten years time in proper way?
One feels quite disgusting looking the present scenario of the SLC in Nepal. In such situation, Nepal is not going to produce any qualified manpower like doctor, engineer, overseers, teachers, nurses, CAs, politicians, etc. for next few decades, consequently the economy and people's livelihood will be marred hard.
Guardians who are making their children helpless and lame by themselves need think twice because the goodness and betterment of their children is in the same.
