Hey,

Hope you are doing good.

I am working on a project on evaluating the impact of the Government's
withdrawal of the CBSE board exam (for tenth standard). I am trying to
access as much academic and other literature on this as I can. It is a
little tough to get hold of academic research done on India,
specifically. If any of you know any educationists or academics or
researchers who have looked at the following aspects and can pass on
the details to me, I would be grateful and would treat you to a cold
beverage of your choice, whenever I meet you next. :)

1) Impact of testing on academic effort put in by students.
2) The impact of testing on input by schools.
3) The impact of testing on input by parents (particularly
expenditures on children’s education)
4) Impact of testing on psychological welfare of students.

Please get in touch with me at this email address, if you think you
know anyone. My number is 09666407406. Thanks.

Regards,
Priya
