By LETTERSMore by this AuthorThe Competence-based Curriculum (CBC) should be implemented for the nation to meet its social, political, economic, technological and industrial targets. The 8.4.4 system is examination-oriented and has placed students into two unfair categories: ‘Winners’ and ‘losers’, based on their performance in national examinations. The 8.4.4 system breeds incompetence, examination malpractices and has failed in inculcating a value-based system that encourages national cohesion, patriotism and love for diverse cultures. The CBC training is thus critical to prepare teachers for smooth implementation of the syllabus. The 8.4.4 system has failed us; it’s time to fix it.
