With Tamilnadu being a high-ranking state in the Educational Development Index in the country, one would expect children in government-run schools in metros like Chennai to be ahead of their counterparts elsewhere. Wrong. Krithika Ramalingam did a reality check.

 This article is part of a series on education sponsored by Confederation of Indian Organisations for Service and Advocacy, published by India Together

 Fifteen-year-old A Ramya prepares for school at the crack of dawn, learning by repetition for the third mock Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination at her school. A class X student at a government Adi Dravida High School in Chennai's suburbs, Ramya goes through three books – the prescribed textbook and two sets of guide books recommended by her teachers – in preparation for the board examination set to start in late March.

She leaves for her school at 8 am to sit through the mock examinations. She will then answer exam papers from the question bank repetitively till they become her second nature. The teachers drill the students on how to answer questions, starting from how many words to a line, to a page to how to pack in all information in the first two paragraphs.

Krithika Ramalingam is a Chennai-based development journalist. Names of children have been changed to protect their identity.
