Debate: Why not to choose MATRICULATION

[xpfaddict]

I wanted a debate here or some general information that "Why we should choose O'Levels and further A-Levels rather than to do Matric?"
Need serious but many answers.

Hmm..
O levels have better standard of education?
coz they wanna go abroad ?

Personally, I after doing my O level this year, am planning to go for intermediate...

definitely olevels give u much better concepts in all subjects. in matric there aint enuf detail... u jxt touch alot ov topics n leave em without getting fully their concepts. after that, if one is really determined to go for medical, FSc is a better option fer pakistan. but if one wants to keep the opportunities wider, alevels z gud enuff as u get to take as many subjects as u lyk n then later can choose watevr field u want.

Matric is a JOKE in front of O levels. Mainly because the syllabus hasn't changed. Notice something about O & A levels, Syllabus constantly keeps changing according to new research. They test you from every aspect, every angle. Matic is tested on your Ratta-baazi skills -.-
And then like Mubarka said, wider opportunities with O & A level.

maybe due to the following:

-olevels is to the point... mostly no "ratta" system.... just concepts
-o and a gives better understanding........ and helpful in careers and universities abroad
-the marking might be better of cambridge systems
-although o and a levels very costly but very important for the future as well.....

Its not that Matriculation does not lead to better academic qualifications or what, but that the way of teaching Matric in front of O'Levels is simply a joke! Matric teachers these days are no less than those encouraging cramming whereas i do not remember a single teacher in our O'Levels ever asking us to cram stuff! To the better understanding thing, if you just *pass* O'Levels like any other class, it still gives you no understanding! Institutions world-wide value O'Levels because it is progressing at a rapid rate then the local boards! All in all, though it is much valued, you need to put a lot of effort in to get the best out of it!

successful institutions favour the Olevels and A levels ones cuz they want understanding and the ability of candidates to solve new problems and new situations..... where the students can understand the situations present and produce solutions regarding them.

i think so that cie puts their papers PRIVATE
no one could knew the questions of the papers before the exam date

cause OPINION MATTERS

yeah so my opinions based on facts and experience.
In Pakistan unfortunately the matriculation system has become rotten and bizzare actually. There is no conceptual understanding of the subjects taught. In the process you remain naive to the advancements in science. unlike olevels or any other quality board exams where they update their books syllabuses on a regular basis. so you are better prepared for your university studies i guess. if doing matriculation your weak concepts will be exposed and you might find it tough to cope with university studies. Doing olevel means the doors for top 100 universities are obviously open! i have seen matric students mostly doing memorizing and not really focusing on concepts. they know what type of questions will come. sometimes paper get leaked or checking problems here. open cheating is going on in the examination halls during matric exams.Teachers and examiners are bribed to increase any of the student's marks ! so its really a miss for those who got the luxury to afford a quality education like olevels, ib, and edexel boards. whereas in India the matriculation standard is pretty good as far as i know because their matriculation is accepted in many of the top universities worldwide like NUS.

P.S if some sensible people come and try to change this incompetent matriculation studies here in Pak, then it would be wonderful you know. who likes to pay hefty fees of admission and all for olevel? if you can get that on low cost and education standard being the same as olevel then it would be great for all not just the 1 % population of Pakistan. think!

and yeah hard workers and dedicated people can pave their way and achieve as much success as a olevel student would do. i mean if you can't do olevel for any reason then go for the matric and you can create many opportunities if you are smart enough and talented....Take care !

basically matric education should not be choosen cuz
1) Not have a fair chance to prove ur self. (Paper replacement)
2)Not accepted at International level.
3)Method of studying relies on learning rather than understanding.
