Solved Unseen Passage for Class 10
Cheating in examinations is a major defect of our educational system. Cheating has become so common that students consider it their birthright to use unfair means in the examination. The root cause of this evil lies in our schools. Short-cuts have replaced hard labour. Guides and notes are encouraged in place of textbooks. In all school examinations, except the Middle and the Matric examinations, teachers show leniency to the students and pass most of them. Sometimes, even the parents are at fault. They get their underserving wards promoted to the higher class. The students don't cultivate the habit of self - study and hard - work. Then in the Board Examination, students resort to copying. The teachers on duty encourage the students to use unfair means to pass the examinations. The desire to show good results motivates them to adopt wrong methods.
