I have personally benefited from ASTA’s training. ASTA's programs focused strictly on education — teaching me how to analyze markets, manage risk, and build discipline. At no point did I receive stock tips or advice on what to buy or sell. I support this petition because mistaking educational training for investment advisory could unfairly restrict access to legitimate trader education. I respectfully urge SEBI to acknowledge the difference and support quality financial literacy for retail traders. Empowering retail traders with disciplined, independent decision-making skills strengthens the market ecosystem. A clear regulatory distinction will help genuine educators continue contributing to financial literacy in India.
Paul Givan just met with children in NI to talk about the importance of reading for NI Book Week, and now he visits Israel, responsible for killing at least 20,000 children in 23 months. This man should be nowhere near children or their education.
To those saying “I found it easy” or “I’ll still get an A*” this clearly isn’t about you.
The issue isn’t whether some students could do it. It’s whether the paper was accessible for the wider cohort. The overwhelming consensus is that it was unusually difficult and time-pressured. A paper can still be unfair even if the strongest students perform well.
This is about the students who genuinely struggled despite being well prepared. The paper was accessible only to those able to spot unconventional methods quickly under extreme time pressure, not to the average student sitting A Level Maths.
