Stanes Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School
3,000 students score more in Plus 2 after re-evaluation
COIMBATORE: R Harshita, a student of a Stanes Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Avinashi Road received an information from the education department asking her to reach Chennai to get the papers she had applied for revaluation of the higher secondary examination. She is happy to have received 19 marks more in her higher secondary examination after revaluation.
Her uncle, G Senthil Kumar says that she has become the school topper after the increase in marks. "Harshita had expected better marks than what she had received. Therefore, she applied for the photocopy of her answer sheets and after going through the answer papers, she applied for revaluation," he said.
Like Harshita, around 3,000 students in the district had applied for revaluation in the higher secondary examination. Most of their results have come. School principals said most students have by now received their revised results. A principal of a government school said such issues were bound to happen as the evaluation is not done properly.
The principal of a matriculation school says, "There is a lack of proper mechanism in the correction of answer sheets especially of the English medium students." "The Tamil medium teachers are asked to correct the answer sheets of the English medium students. This creates confusion," she added.
Meanwhile, some senior teachers say the procedures are systematic these days. K Sathyanarayanan, the head master of Mani Higher Secondary School said since students can get the photocopy of the answer sheets, they can go through the answers and decide. "This has made it better and more transparent," he feels.
However, education department officials said the valuation processes may not be entirely at fault. "Poor handwriting can also be a cause of students receiving less marks," says a senior official. But he agrees there are issues of genuine oversight.
