And pathetic education depts/ministers are busy LOADING kids with NONSENSICAL topics.. This is probably the first time India took the tests.. PISA tests only English, Math, Science... Its tragic that our talents are wasted on useless subjects @NarendraModi https://twitter.com/TVMohandasPai/status/1350850197845262340
I have been saying for long.. TEST ONLY imp subjects like Lang, Math, Science well.. Other subjects need not be tested or test as simple multiple choice paper... Too much time wasted on nonsense of History,Civics etc.. Teach.. but dont test to harass kids https://twitter.com/RMCpost/status/1351039507613810694
Its not just kids.. parents spend a lot of time coaching kids on History, Geog, Civics etc when such subjects should be a BREEZE & require no preparation.. I recommend an Open book exam for such subjects from school itself.. NO CRAMMING @DrRPNishank @NarendraModi.. DARE TO THINK!
History, Geog, Civics are just info & facts.. no need to memorise any of it in this day and age... A big load of time is wasted on mugging up facts that may hardly be used in life.. instead of more time to Math/Science... Dare to REFORM this first.. https://twitter.com/RMCpost/status/1351045230456426497
Oh BTW... Most of the history in school books is not even "facts"... its GARBAGE not worth studying at all... LOL! @DrRPNishank @NarendraModi... https://twitter.com/RMCpost/status/1351045650033627140
Even Math is tested with multiple choice papers... I have tested lakhs of students.. Your CAT, SAT all test Math similarly... Toh Geography kya cheez hai?... Im not saying dont teach.. Im saying test it in simple multiple choice papers.. No need to cram.. https://twitter.com/BroadWit/status/1351045561458302978
History, Civics can be studied anytime in your life... Math, Science have to be built on continuous learning and the foundation has to be strong by age 12... https://twitter.com/letsfoootball/status/1351049195097096197
1. This is not an issue... Because 2012 was the last time India participated in the PISA tests... Funnily refusing to participate further claiming "Cultural Differences" when diff cultures like Korea/Holland participate.. @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai https://twitter.com/goyalsanjeev/status/1351179555566981125
2. PISA tests are held every 3 years.. So India skipped till 2018 but has now agreed to participate in 2021.. If you look at the last PISA 2018 rankings.. almost the same Eastern countries dominate.. @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai @DrRPNishank @NarendraModi https://twitter.com/RMCpost/status/1351350450419757057
3. There is a US test.. TIMSS (Trends in Math & Science).. It is held every 4 years.. Last was 2019 (full data not available so sharing 2015).. India doesnt participate... But there too.. the eastern countries do better.. @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai @DrRPNishank @NarendraModi
4. TIMSS tests Classes 4 to 8 and ranks separately for Math & Science unlike PISA... Since 2019 rankings are still not available... This summary of change from 2015 to 2019 is a good indicator.. @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai @DrRPNishank @NarendraModi
5. In short.. "Handsome" men like @MSisodia need not go to Finland to learn about Edu.. They can go to Singapore which does much better.. And @NarendraModi @DrRPNishank are UNWILLING to dismantle bogus school edu system... @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai https://twitter.com/RMCpost/status/1351352123745681410
6. Lastly @NarendraModi @DrRPNishank are UNWILLING to REFORM & dismantle the bogus school edu system... Lipstick changes will do NOTHING... Thats why India lags behind in INNOVATION & NEW Thinkng.. LOL! Mungerilal's "Vishwa Garu" Sapne... END! @goyalsanjeev @TVMohandasPai
Where Math & Science are concerned... At least in the Primary section up to 7th.. We can simply borrow Singapore text books.. Instead of the unimaginative content that comes out of NCERT... @DrRPNishank @narendramodi https://twitter.com/hareeshiitm/status/1351353510885900288
