There are a number of education system currently in Tamil Nadu and they are been given full freedom to design and follow their own syllabus and pattern of education into their curriculum. If the current system comes into progress will it get good response and results and if so what would be the quality of Education and how the Education system can be compared with monitoring the students progress who produce good results. I have stated an example and require an answer to the above system of Education.
Let us consider an example as a CBSE student scores 95 percent of marks whereas a Matric student or State Board student also scores same 95 percents through his efforts. To make a note of point we may know that scoring good marks in CBSE is as much as difficult as scoring in other education system. If we take an aggregate of both these marks while getting into a professional course which scores more and can be ranked first, Since in our case as both aggregate are equal and which one would be taken into consideration in order to analyze it quality of education and output and the decision is all up to an Individual.Question of Dilemma regarding Samacheer Kalvi Issues

In current scenario due to technological advancement and development of various types of mass Media in Tamil Nadu it has been very easy in getting out the latest required information updated within a second. Today everybody in Tamil Nadu is aware about the case of Samacheer Kalvi proceeding in the court since there has been a number of sitting and judgments made time to time. Due to the opposition of current government with the support of various people related to this system into their hand the case has been prolonged in the court for several months and because of this it made a delay in distribution of printed books too till final judgment and moreover the students have been sitting idle in class with general subject of discussion. We could also find that many schools in rural also took their students to visit various places in and around as they wouldn't manage the current situation without books.
Previously the court has ordered the government to complete the distribution of books by August 2nd but due to several factors of consideration it has come up with a new decision and also extended the grace period for distribution of books for a week that is by August 10th.
The latest news received was the school and their teachers have been asked to tear few printed pages and also to make little correction into various sections and then only distribute the books to the students within specified time.Conclusion
For past few months every school in Tamil Nadu have been in a confusion about what would be the final judgment and outcome of the court regarding the case on Samacheer Kalvi. Moreover everybody are aware that few schools in Tamil Nadu has gone ahead in conducting the class with old syllabus and also noted that they are gearing up to their exams.
In my point of view I personally suggest to look at the life of each students of Tamil Nadu with their problems and difficulties faced till date on receiving a final judgement into this issue. Is there any alternative solution to it? And will this be implemented in current year? Let's wait and watch the game…..
We are all talking about the Quality education but most of the rural schools having very minimum of Teachers against the quota of Teachers. Due to the current system of transfering the teachers in counseling nobody likes to go and teach in the village(remote) schools. It is very painful to accept the facts that teachers for promoting services to the vulnerable society and to import knowledge and to uplift the standards of the poor. But the students in the village schools not having that much stuff to make them fit themselves for the examinations. The Government should take immediate and necessary arrancgements to fill the vacancies as earliest to improve the quality of education. It is the time to realise and concentrate on these target people even for the coming academic year.
On the other hand due to the current system of 100% promotion for upto 8th standard is also facing a huge problem in the coming years. The dull students may not be able to cope with the standards of the socalled brillients and automatically noding their heads down. So kindly make effective steps to improve the standards of the education.
