CCE system a bane or a boon

A few years back students struggled with the vast syllabus, and the pressure of doing their best in the annual exams. But, now with the new CCE system the portions of the syllabus have been greatly reduced. I am sure this is going to help the students reduce their stress. “I need to score well!” and “I’ve got tough competition!” are thoughts of by gone days. The students have started to take studies lightly.
The C.C.E. pattern has changed the mindset of the students. Now all the class tests play a great role in determining the marks of students. We students, learn the whole book by-heart, and then puke it out in the examinations. We don’t know that the values are useful, not only for examinations, but also for our day-to-day lives.
The pattern aims at making the students confident and bold. This, I feel, is doing a great job. The seminars, speeches, mono acting and skits that are conducted in classes make us lose our stage fear. There are many projects, model, charts, book reviews that gives us the opportunity to show off our creativity. Like the proverb says “Bloom where you are planted!” But, the question remains is the CCE system what students of India require? Is the government's new move to make education more meaningful and less academics-oriented adding to the burden of the already stressed child? With continuous class activities, projects, group projects, etc. the focus of students is being diverted from the main focus of education to other things. Students who are not very good e.g. in drawing loose marks in a drawing activity just because they are not good at it. The purpose of education no more remains the same as it was, instead of studying mathematics and science now we are made to do various activities throughout the year. The aim of education is no more the same. Hence the issue is to debate that whether we want students with complete bookish knowledge or students with half baked knowledge but all-rounder’s. Personally, I myself as a student
