Examination has changed the way children study. Nowadays, although competition in the field of education has increased, students study just to gain marks and not to gain knowledge. In today's fast-paced world students do not know what is happening in the world around them. I therefore fully support the point that examinations have killed education.

Yeah. Examination is only for the percentage, not the talent. Many of the students have many talents in our own way but the parents are not allowing to show our talent because. They want only high score with others. So the students should not show our talent. They show the talents only to the dreams, not the real life. So examination has it killed education.

Hello friends,

I'm Priya from VLB.

As this topic examination - has it killed education,

OK, I'm going to express my point of view and I would like to state my opinion,

The examination is not judging our knowledge. This is a temporary to increase our confidence level. Many students have a lot of talents. So examination is one step in our education level. But it is not our life. To show any talent to achieve our success.

Thanks for giving the opportunity.

Hello friends!

From my view examination is the process to know how the students understands the topics well not only about the syllabi.

Students should convert the knowledge into practical manner then only they can invent something to the world. But also examination is the not only the thing to valuate the students skills. Board can implement other practices to evaluate the knowledge.

I'm Kunal, I think examinations are killing the education. By "examinations" I refer to the prevailing conditiion of exams. The exams where students are expected to mug up answers. Students, all they talk about is marks, grades but they lack curiosity about what they study.

Exams put immense pressure on the student because failure in performance would cause them consequences. The pressure of peers, career is all based on that one test.

The student doesn't get time for extracurricular activities. I think exams, along with education, are killing the student too. We need to change the exam conduct pattern. There is so much competition around the world today.

Hello, everyone.

I would like to speak everything about exams today. I have been really frustrated by these exams. I hate exams. No matter how much I study how much I understand I always score average. Because I don't mug up things. I try and understand everything properly. Read everything in detail. So that I gain more knowledge about the subject.

But then in exams, I have never been able to complete my paper. Because I apply my mind and write sensible answers but people who mug up things complete their paper easily and some people even write stupid things by just reading the meaning of the topic. Elaborate the answer and even they score marks.

So what's the difference then? Also, I think marks depends on other circumstances like sometimes a student knows everything but then due to hesitation, lack of time, out of course questions, inability to write stupid things elaborating one line into 100 lines. Etc. Also illness. But then that student even if he or she can explain every topic if you ask. Scores less and others score more even if they don't know much. Marks marks marks everywhere.

The students who are capable of doing great things are left behind doing nothing because of this system. I am not saying every student who scores well knows nothing and every student who scores less is intelligent. But the only thing is this system of marks has let down many students because of stupid judgments everyone makes.

I support examinations as it has many features which support the student life. You may say the examination creates a great pressure to the students but if he can't bare the simple examination pressure how can he bare his pressures in his professional life from his office, family, society. If we do not conduct exams a student never touches the book.

Students are really fed up with the studies. If the study load could be reduced then they will be more helpful. Everyone is worried about marks but not concerned about gaining knowledge.
