Has any survey other than cursory interviews been conducted to determine how these students become toppers in public or board exams despite coming from little known schools with scant resources.
Is it the motivation of poverty, or focus on a goal, or hard work and application or just the right genes from parents who are well educated themselves or were unable to utilize their natural potential. Many of these young people don’t even have the right tools and environment for their studies. They have to help in the household, assist in bringing an income, take care of younger siblings, putting to shame kids from top schools who are not burdened in any manner. I have read of instances from the rest of India, of children of farmers, rickshaw drivers and hawkers studying in village municipal schools and district colleges in the boonies, not just passing, but acing all-India Services and other competitive exams. Nelson you have been up close in the education field in Goa. Perhaps you can give us your perspective and Goanetter ex-Principal Tony, his. We’ll be glad to hear from Martin Barreto, Miguel Braganza and any one else wishing to chip in. Thanks. Roland.
