Moral Science Question in X std paper!
The Government of Andhra Pradesh, India will make it compulsory for the students of Class X to attempt answering a moral science question. Wow Moral Science and one question. It has not been made clear in what subject will this question be asked.
I like this idea. It is going to be a question for students who have been prepared for hundreds of hours on how to answer questions, by teachers who have been conditioned to make their students pass exams.
But imagine how would it be, to have MLAs and MPs write Moral Science paper. Just imagine a question: What is honesty? And guess how would their answer be:
“Honesty is the best Policy. I will see to it that this Policy will be put into practice as soon as I come into power. I have always been honest in my life. It so happened one time that I was caught in a murder case (or trafficking case or fake encounter case or corruption) and I made sure that the judges acquitted after 7 years of long struggle. Hence Honesty is the best policy. Honesty is power and power is honesty”
Anyways coming back to this Moral Science Question, I wonder if it is required at all. Why do these stupid policies be put into practice. The fact that our education system lacks morals is a known fact (need example..most of our leaders have studied in India only). And anyways morals do not come from answering a question in a question paper.
I wonder when our policy makers will realize it.
