Today the parents are crazy to admit their their wards into an English medium school because of the better infrastructure and teaching methodology and obviously for better English knowledge. But my survey revealed that the Bengali medium students have better Mathematical skills. They can solve Mathematical problems better than that of English medium students. I don't know the exact reason behind that, but it is the fact.
But in changed curriculum, I don't know what is the fate of the Bengali medium students.

The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education recently changed the curriculum of Mathematics. But, being a teacher of Mathematics I am very much worried about the standard of the students who are belonging to this curriculum. The pass mark is 25 only out of which 10 marks is for oral. Now think if a students do a construction and a theorem in his examination then he may get 12. Then 2 or 3 objective questions may give him 4 or 6 marks. So he already gets 16 to 18 marks. Oral exam can give him rest of the marks easily. So without doing Algebra and Arithmetic a student can easily pass out an exam.Now can we say that the student, who passes out, has minimum knowledge on Mathematics? This is the tragedy, and we are going on with the system.
