Creating excellence more important than marks, says Bhagwat
    Nagpur, Nov 19 (PTI) RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on
Tuesday asked educationists to create excellence among
students rather than having a classroom system geared towards
scoring marks in exams.
    He was addressing the 'International Principals'
Education Conference 2019' here.
    "Classroom education is not everything, though it has
its importance. But the classroom is for real-time experience
and how it can be taken forward to a conclusion," Bhagwat
said.
    "Nowadays, marksheets and marks have become more
important due to competition. Doing this (giving predominance
to marks) is not education. We need to create people through
excellence," he said. PTI CLS
