We could replicate the model to target something unique and different from FOSSEE. 2. I have seen the recent textbook and board exam papers and I see that there are 10 fixed programming questions that repeat year after year. Most students tend to learn them by-heart without understanding the syntax or the logic. We need to address this as well. 3. Present CBSE 11, 12 Comp Science syllabus is comparatively better off. In order to achieve the goals discussed by Vijay, we'll have to look at infra upgrade and teacher training at scale.
