Wasnt there a 11+4 system before it was changed into a 10+2+3 system some decades ago? - or so i've heard. If the latter (10+2) is scrapped the biggest losers are the private coaching institutes and the teachers who diligently provide "private coaching" for 10th standard alongside their regular teaching jobs. -- .
