Examinations - has it killed education

According to my point of view, examination kills education. Education is gaining knowledge and knowing everything in this world. But our education system is based on marks. Mark is more important than learning new things.

Usually 80%of students does not have any knowledge on the subject they just mug up their and vomit in their answer paper. Exams are just to check the memorizing ability. Many will score good marks but will be poor in practicals. From my opinion, I will say that education system should be changed and practicals should be concentrated more.

Hello friends,

Our present education system is merely based on rote memory. The students who topped In examination do not know how to use the knowledge practically in life there is only a race between the students to get good marks in paper from early stage of life. Examination is a way to check students knowledge not just rote sentences, unfortunately this is what is happening in examinations.

Hi I am Gurpreetsoni.

According to me examination is the best way to test our knowledge without examination we can't judge ourselves. If a person learn something from his school, collage or from any other place it is only examination to know.

That he learn it properly or not. Examination also motivate a person to do batter for example if a person pass a exam then he will try to do more batter. But according to my thinking if any person or student committed suicide do to his failure in examination then he can never succeed in his life because he is not able to face his failure so how can you expect them that he will be successful in his life he cannot be succeed. So it is wrong thinking that examination kill education.

Good evening friends,

In my point of view, examinations is good for testing our knowledge on topics what we learnt in colleges or schools or any other places. But, because of some external forces students feel like stress and pressure in examinations.

In India, some educational institutions and parents are making force to get good marks to their students and children. It is good but it should be a certain limit. Because parents are telling to their children like this " you should get good marks otherwise you will not get success in your life. " with this words students studied hard and they by hart the concepts whether they understand or not.

According to me because of the above reason, most of the students are not getting jobs because of they are unable to do practical things and they are losing their thinking abilities.

Thank you.

I think examinations are good or bad, it is decided by the student's perspective. If a student treats examinations like a platform to test his knowledge then it is good for them, but if he treats it like a burden, then he or she may get stressed about studying for examinations.

From my perspective, I think that examinations must be continued with education system. It checks our ability to apply concepts and knowledge to the problem being asked. It checks our ability to perform in a difficult situation as well.

Well, according to my view, examinations are the basic need for judging yourself that how knowledge that gained to you. Also, the examination will improve our skill to reading and hardworking. Without examination, their is nothing parameter on the basis of which we send to this student to next stage. So I think its a basic need.

Examinations for me are something which helps us to judge ourselves, our performance. To check if we are giving our efforts in right direction. So to me, examinations are very important.

But for the point has it killed education, has two sides. As in many schools and colleges and even in many homes students are being forced to score. So in such case, it may occur that student may lose his/her focus on understanding things and knowing things practically to just scoring marks.

But when a student is given freedom to learn in what so ever way they wish to study, they are able to better explore things and examinations become an add-on to their preparation like a guide.

Hello guys.

Well, I think that examinations are a good way to check out the student's performance in school but it's not the best way to improvise your educational skills. It's just a mere way of how well a student can memorize or how hard he can work. But in today's world we just not need to work hard, instead we need to work in a smarter way and that can only be built by usage of that knowledge into practical life.

So the schools should more focus on the practical implications of education instead of making it a mere way of boredom to just memorize and top in the exams.

Absolutely no. Examination is a necessary thing un education by which we can measure our performance. We can determine how much we have learnt. Also we can rectify our faults and motivate to study more. If we score good in examination then it brings us confidence. Similarly, if we score less in examination then we try to boost our knowledge. Examination helps us to create a healthy competitive atmosphere. But sometimes we take too much stress to sustain this competitive atmosphere. Sometimes it creates mental pressure. So we have to balance it and motivate ourselves for achieving goals.
