“Had I not suggested economics, philosophy and other social sciences as subjects that offered rewarding career paths? So, why was I now arm twisting Tenth Graders of the World to take science & maths? What else was this other than pure hypocrisy?”

Easier said than done. Some students just can't cope up with the hard work that science requires. And when they begin to fail, it completely crushes their confidence.

Yes. The curriculum must change too…teach the concepts and methods, instead of memorisation and calculations.

Interesting. I took sciences till the 12th and then English honours at University. Why, I'll never know (I want all that good but wasn't all that bad either).

The way science is taught in India, I don't think it makes much difference. Class 11/12 science is tough, extensive, and stressful. First we need to change the way we teach science at junior levels to stress on proof, experiments and questioning.

I don't agree. Yes Science and Math are important, but compulsory till grade 8/10 is enough. More importantly, providing 2 levels of these subjects will be very helpful & most boards do that now. The confidence of some kids is dented because they are forced to study this stuff
