Degradation in the number of high school pass outs

In recent years, a very disturbing trend has emerged. Percentage of children clearing the 10th and 12th class examination is on decline. It started showing great decline from 1998. It is indeed disappointing and frustrating. Paucity of qualified and experienced staff in certain schools could be just one reason, but not the sole reason for this downward trend. increased distractions in the form of TV, computer and internet could be the main reason. Today children spend hours in front of the TV and computers and this robs them of their precious study time. Parental pressure can be the another malefactor. Undue interference by the parents and the pressure to excel and score high in academics leads to frustration and irritation and a consequent lack of concentration. Children also tend to become rebellious under such pressure. also, immensely competitive environment of today has stiffed the joy of learning among children.
       
                 In order to conquer this undesirable trend, we, have to , work out suitable strategies. Counselling could be the best solution.
