There's an increasing tendency to do things in haste, at times without scrutiny and tom tom the success as uniquely achieved! In the bargain, many safeguards are given the go by with the tendency to rely heavily on technology, forgetting the fact that human effort can never be substituted!! This is what I'd term as the 'one upmanship syndrome' and if one possesses the gift of the gab, the marketing gets to be perfect to ride roughshod over the choruses of the 'doubting Thomases'!
I'm talking about the SSLC results of the state, published in record time(?) yesterday. The results were announced by the state's education minister, accompanied by the top bureaucrats of his department within 18 days from the commencement of evaluation of the answer sheets with the following glitches and consequences:-
(a) Mark sheets without grades were a plenty
(b) Many 'pass' students had the note that they're unfit for higher studies in their mark sheets
(c) Promulgation of results within 'record time' thus boomerangs because of the glitches as the details weren't available for hours after the promulgation of the results
(d) The blame game begins saying that the 'uploading of marks' was faulty
(e) Hectic efforts are on to incorporate the changes for repromulgation.
There were discrepancies galore in the 'big picture' prompting the IT@School portal to hastily remove the analysis of examination results from its special portal. They've gone a step further to blame the software issued, for the purpose, by the NIC(National Informatics Centre) who, in turn, has trashed the allegation. Ultimately, the 'Pareeksha Bhavan' stands thoroughly exposed! The final corrected version is expected tomorrow but at what cost? Just beats me!!
My take.
Following the entire imbroglio, I've the following queries to ask of the powers that be who've to be held responsible and accountable for the fiasco:-
(a) Are you really concerned about the requirement of the students, which is to acquire
his/her results - free of glitches - for getting on with the formalities of pursuing higher
studies?
(b) Who's cornering for glory in bringing out results, post haste, throwing all caution to the
winds?
There might be good intentions in that the children can provide their mark lists to the schools/colleges within the state and outside, within the stipulated time - not long ago, late results were the bane of Kerala's students - in pursuit of their higher education by bringing out results in the shortest possible time. But it has to be with zero tolerance to errors! We can't mess up with our children's future!!
Tailpiece.
Mom's blood and urine samples were collected by the nursing staff from the nearby hospital, who'd fetched up by around a quarter to 7 and most of the results were available by 1600h. Gearing up to meet her doctor in the morning of 23 Apr. A scrutiny of the results shows that her parameters are normal and within limits!
