To be frank, this idea is really pathetic. the biggest problem in this country is that education departments are assigned to politicians, not educationists. even if the cbse does employ some educationists, some REAL education people, i do not think they get a chance.the cbse is going downhill since the last 5 years or so , working to make a generation of lame people.reasons given: the student feels stressful. ****, he is a student, why should he be stressful doing his job? yeah , one more thing. someone up there says that the student will get to choose other options or something. you care about other options, don't study at all. get enrolled in a vocational course. india doesn't need many average people, it needs some really good people.if some people do suicide, let them be.our generation will be better off without some crazy people. cbse is turning towards mass production of low-quality people. take a break, mr sibbal! try thinking like a grown-up, for god's sake
