If all goes well, the system of Allowed to Keep Terms (ATKT) would soon be a part of the curriculum of the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
Vasant Kalpande, chairman of the State Board said on Friday the board was considering making ATKT possible in schools on a trial basis. If implemented, the system would be only for class X students who have failed in Mathematics.
Kalpande’s statement was made in the wake of the back-to-back statements made by Minister for State School Education Vasant Purke and NCERT chief Krishnakumar. Krishnakumar said NCERT was considering to introduce ATKT in schools across the country. Kalpande said the system would be difficult to implement for students of classes V to IX.
Parents and teachers in the city have taken the proposal with a pinch of salt. They fear that the system will make students lax and affect their performance.
Lalita Hariharan, Principal of Springfield High School, Bandra said, “The quality of a student’s performance will suffer.”
Arundhati Chavan, president, parent-teacher association, Mumbai division, said, “The system has its pros and cons. It will reduce students’ stress levels and drop-out rates, especially in public schools. On the flip side, students may take examinations lightly feeling they could clear it in the next class.”
