5. Abolition of pass and fail policy
Merits
▪ No confidence loss in students.This is
important because the students at grade
8 are too young to face a failure.I do not
think they can understandthe failure
at such a small age.
▪ This also can reduce the illiteracyrate.
▪ It can help the childto recover and
improve in studies instead of pointing out
that he/she has failed and exposing the
child to a mental turmoil at such a young
age.
De-merits
✓ The worse things about this could be
complacency. If no one fails, no one will ever
bother to learn.
✓ These higher school lessons are the basic
foundations of the higher studies. One needs to
be strong in these subjects which have very
basic concepts of further studies. If a person
ignores how to add, subtract, then it is obvious
that he/she will go nowhere in education.
✓ There remains no scope for the child
to know his/her potentials since there is no
continuous evaluation process.

6. Introduction of gradation system.
Merits
▪ It considerably reduces inter and intra
examiner's variability in marking.
▪ It also takes care of imperfection of
tools used for assessment.
▪ The fear of exams is not there in
the minds of the students.
▪ The suicide rate had decreased due
to the introduction of grade system.
De-merits
✓ It is quite discouraging for the
meritorious students.
✓ It defeats the whole concept of
studying hard and getting
good marks.
✓ It cannot set the right parameter to
judge a student's performance.

7. Introduction of smart classrooms.
Merits
▪ Access to online resources.
▪ Digital medium for notes.
▪ Advantage of absentees.
▪ Ease of understanding.
▪ Makes learning easer and
enjoyable.
▪ Improves academic performances.
De-merits
✓ Expensive and costly.
✓ Skilled faculty required.
✓ Maintenance.
✓ Technical Faults.

8. Initiation of distance education policy.
Merits
▪ Provides for an increase in access to
education for those who otherwise
have no other opportunities due to
work, family or physical limitations.
▪ Greater flexibility for
scheduling learning-students can
determine time and place of class
time.
▪ Access to global resources.
De-merits

infrastructure.

directed in learningenvironment -
