Education: Separate teachers from exams in India.

Separate teachers from exams.

Firstly, there is no perfect education system in the whole world. India is a developing nation and needs a cost efficient method to get education to maximum number of people. Ultimately, there is a need to remember that no school in this world can teach you as much as life itself can. We learn every day. It’s unending.

Every teacher in India should be a slave of the nation. We do not need a teacher in India who serves himself or the students. Every teacher should serve the nation/board of examiners. It will be the nation/board of examiners that will set the exams; and it will be the teacher who will coach the students to sit for the exams. Based on the pass rate of the students, we can determine if the students are being coached well by the teacher. Based on the pass rate of the students we can determine if the teacher is doing his job well. So we have to separate teachers from examinations.

If you allow the teacher to coach the students and also set the exams, then you would be turning the teacher into an entertainer. Any teacher who can teach any way he feels like and also set the exams any way he feels like is indeed an entertainer, not a teacher. Rightfully, a teacher is not an entertainer but a slave of the nation/board of examiners.

Do you want your children to be taught by an entertainer or a teacher? As the teacher tries ways to make himself be popular among the students, he will gradually transform into an entertainer; and this is a dangerous phenomenon and also a waste of public funds. The teacher becomes an entertainer by entering into long discussions with students of other topics of interest in the classroom, ranging anywhere from politics to social matters, to the bad traffic to the weather and so on; and the discussion may go on for ever because it is entertaining for both the students and teacher.

Giving anybody too much freedom is not good. The way to lead life is by engaging in goal setting and goal achieving. In this case, the board of examiners will set the goal, and the teacher will make sure that the students will achieve the goal. It is all about accountability. The teachers must be held accountable to the nation. India is a democracy and runs on people power. The people power must hold the teachers accountable to the nation. No teacher in India has the right to be an entertainer. Every teacher has to be a slave of the nation/board of examiners. To transform India from a developing nation to a developed nation, teachers play a very important role. I dare say that giving teachers too much freedom is a luxury that a developing nation like India can ill-afford. Teachers are teachers; and exams are exams. We have to separate teachers from exams.

The people who should be most concerned about this matter should be the parents themselves. The parents probably think that their children are getting a good education. But think is only think. The reality may be something else.

In some nations students are privileged enough to choose the instructor. They even choose the instructor in every course they take. In these nations educational institution instructors are divided into hard graders and easy graders; and students are always choosing easy graders. So we have a situation where all the good instructors (that is, hard graders) are never put to use. So we have a situation in these nations where all the good instructors (that is, hard graders) are sidelined. And as an instructor, if you are not put to use by the students long enough, you have to transform into an easy grader or become unemployed. In these nations where students can pick the instructor, I hope they continue to do so because they may have their own reasons to do so.

In sharp contrast, for India, I would never ever recommend such an educational system whereby students can choose the instructor. School is school, not your grandfather’s house. Giving Indian students the privilege of choosing instructors may not be the best way for students inside India. In some nations students can pick the instructor, and this phenomenon of allowing students to pick the instructor should never be allowed to happen in India.

Also, only teachers who are trained to teach economics shall be allowed to teach economics; only teachers who are trained to teach algebra shall be allowed to teach algebra; only teachers who are trained to teach biology shall be allowed to teach biology; only teachers who are trained to teach chemistry shall be allowed to teach chemistry. In some nations any teacher can teach any subject; and this phenomenon of giving the teacher the freedom to teach any subject he feels like and give the exams any way he feels like should be avoided in India.

The classroom is not the place for debating. School is school, not your grandfather’s house. If you want to do debating, then join the debating society. You can do your analysis, debating, and persuasion in the debating society. The classroom is the classroom. The teacher will teach and the students will learn and take notes. This is the cost efficient way. India is a developing nation, not a developed nation and requires a cost efficient education system. There are some other nations where the teacher has so much freedom that they can teach anyway they feel like and so do not even bother to prepare their lesson before entering the classroom; and these teachers have so much freedom that they are not slaves of the board of examiners, but demi-gods; and this phenomenon should never be allowed to happen in India because we do not need any demi-god teachers in India. It is important that the teacher prepare well before the teacher enters the classroom. If the teacher prepares well and teaches well, then the students will not interrupt the teacher with too many questions. If the students want to ask questions, they can- however- do so. The objective of the teacher is to prepare well and teach well so that the teaching will not be interrupted with too many questions from the students. Employers are looking for stable characters to hire. In any case, there is no perfect education system in the whole world. India is a developing nation and needs a cost efficient method to get education to the maximum number of people. Ultimately, there is a need to remember that no school in this world can teach you as much as life itself can. We learn every day. We learn inside and outside school. The work environment itself is a school. We make mistakes and learn from our mistakes; and we try not to repeat mistakes. We keep learning. It’s unending. What the market wants and what the schools and universities can provide are often different, and this is a world-wide phenomenon. There is often a difference between theory and practice, and this is a world-wide pehenomenon. It would be unfair to say that India is the only nation where the colleges and universities churn out graduates who do not completely meet the needs of the market because this is a world-wide phenomenon. It would be unfair to say that India is the only nation where the colleges and universities churn out unhirable graduates because they do not completely meet the needs of the market because this is a world-wide phenomenon. It would be unfair to say that India is the only nation where the colleges and universities churn out useless graduates because they do not completely meet the needs of the market because this is a world-wide phenomenon. It would be unfair to say that India is the only nation where the colleges and universities churn out graduates that the market does not need because this is a world-wide phenomenon.

There are regulated teachers and unregulated teachers. Unregulated teachers are what they are, unregulated teachers. I know of a nation that has plenty of unregulated teachers. Unregulated teachers operate without any checks and balances. Unregulated teachers operate without accountability. The unregulated teachers can teach any subject he feels like. The unregulated teacher can teach any way he feels like. The unregulated teacher can even change the syllabus. The unregulated teacher can assert his personal views in the classroom. The unregulated teacher can teach non-factual matter as factual matter. The unregulated teacher can teach his favorite part of the syllabus, and disregard other parts of the syllabus. The unregulated teacher often times enters the classroom without preparing well to teach the course. The unregulated teachers are allowed to teach even if he is not competent in the subject matter being taught. The unregulated teacher opposes board exams. Sometimes the unregulated teacher will organize a discussion session among the students with the teacher transforming into a moderator of the discussion; and, some how, this is also considered educational. Sometimes the unregulated teachers will just answer any questions that the students ask for the entire semester, with the teacher not teaching at all; and this is also considered educational. Sometimes the unregulated teacher will push most of the responsibility of learning to the students, with the teacher playing a minimal role; and this is also considered okay. These unregulated teachers are demi-gods because they have so much freedom. These unregulated teachers almost have immunity and are not held accountable. In these nations (with unregulated teachers) I would venture to say that they have no teachers at all; and in these same nations I would also venture to say that they have plenty of demi-god teachers. Unregulated teachers are demi-god teachers. I know a nation that has plenty of demi-god teachers. Why the parents in these nations do not complain about demi-god teachers continues to baffle me. There are some nations that do not mind having unregulated teachers to teach their children; and I think this is an excellent idea for them because they may have their own reasons for being supportive of unregulated teachers. However, no Indian should ever tolerate unregulated teachers inside India. We Indians do not want any unregulated teachers to teach our children inside India. We Indians do not want any moderator teachers to teach our children inside India. We Indians do not want any smooth-talker teachers to teach our children inside India. We Indians do not want any demi-god teachers to teach our children inside India. Indian parents should demand that their children be taught by regulated teachers, not unregulated teachers.

In this nation with moderator and demi-god teachers, I would venture to state that the entire public school system is just a waste of public funds because it is not cost efficient. However, this same nation has a way to get ahead and remain competitive: they do so by attracting talented immigrants.


Each time you as a parent put your children in the hands of individual teachers, you are taking a risk as regards to the quality of education. It is safer for you as a parent to put your children in a school that separates teachers from exams. When parents are given a choice between individual teachers and board of examiners, then responsible parents should choose the board of examiners; and the board of examiners will separate teachers from exams. Parents are stakeholders. As to why parents in these demi-god teacher nations do not complain about demi-god teachers, continues to baffle me.

We may need uniforms for students. It does make a psychological difference when students wear the uniform. It is just like in the military, the Boy Scouts, and the NCC in India. Every soldier wears a uniform. Many nations require that students wear uniforms. The important thing to remember is that it is important that all students within the nation wear the same uniform. Why? Because parents do move from one town to another town or city to city. If the parents move, then they have to send their children to another school. But if the school has a different uniform, then the parents have to spend extra money to buy new uniforms. We do not want the parents to spend too much money on children’s uniforms each time they change their postal address, and so the best way is to have the identical uniform in all schools in the entire nation. Having the identical uniform in the entire nation also helps in nation-building and national identity. Every Monday the children should wear a tie, stand at attention, raise the national flag, and sing the national song. I tell you that the most important thing is discipline. Standing at attention and learning to stand at attention even just for one minute makes a psychological difference. When the teacher walks into the classroom, all the students should immediately stand at attention and there should be pin drop silence. The teacher will greet the students with “Good Morning class” and the students will reply in unison with “Good morning teacher” and then the students will sit on the chairs. Now the class is in session. The difference is the psychological difference. In the Judicial System it is similar to the judge walking into the courtroom. The judge uses the hammer to get the court in session, but in the classroom the standing at attention and the Good Morning greeting from the teacher and a reply from the students will get the class in session.


Though there is no perfect education system in the world, separating teachers from exams helps. I shall try to prove that separating teachers from exams will result in less work for politicians and bureaucrats. All the politicians and bureaucrats have to do is to separate teachers from exams. That’s all. It would be easy to hold the teachers accountable because all the politicians have to do is to monitor the pass rate from the board exams. If lots of students fail in the board exams, then it becomes the responsibility of the teacher. In fact, the politicians and bureaucrats do not even have to monitor the pass rate of the students. There is an easier way. All the politicians and bureaucrats have to do is to publish the board exams pass rate in each school in the newspapers. As stakeholders, the parents have a legitimate interest in the education of their children. It is the right of the parents to know the name of the school and the number of students who got an A grade in the same school. Based on this information, parents will be able to tell which schools are good. When the parents read in the newspapers about the number of students who got an A grade in each school, the parents can decide for themselves which school they should send their children to. It relieves the politicians and bureaucrats of the burden of personally holding the teachers accountable.

Okay. There is the easy way and the hard way. The hard way is for the politicians and bureaucrats to monitor the teachers daily. How do they monitor the teachers daily? What do you want the politicians and bureaucrats to do? Do you want the politicians and bureaucrats to run around all the schools hourly and check the teachers? It is impossible. There are too many schools and too many teachers. So we have the easy way. We have to find the easy way to maintain checks and balances. The easy way is simply to give board exams and have the number of students in each school to get the A grade to be published in the newspapers. In any case, please be unrelenting: at least, separate teachers from exams.
