Examinations - has it killed education

According to my point of view, yes examination kills education. Education is gaining knowledge and knowing everything in this world. But our education pattern is depend on mark basis. Mark is more important than learning new things. Students must not be blamed, education system must be blamed. They are given a syllabus and it is must be learnt. In stateboard system, every answer must be given what is given in the book. Students mug up their answers and write their exams. In our education system, practical knowlegde is very much less than theoritical knowledge. Students innovative ideas are buried inside their hearts because of the education system. Education system must be changed. Average student and dull student are more brilliant than topper. Everyone is excellent in their own ways. Never blame any student for not scoring the mark, their interest is different. They are very smart. So I request parents, teacher not scold students for not scoring enough marks. Thankyou.

I think exams are good for us because exams helps us to understand our mistakes and correct them by doing hard work.

Yes, the examination has a vital role to kill the education among the students. The students of this generation run after marks. 80% of the students don't have any knowledge about the subject as they mug up one night before the exam. Most of the parents pressurize their children fr getting good grades. Our education system compels the students to memorize as a result of which they lose deep interest in the subjects and become frustrated.

Every person should try to gather knowledge through out his life. Because finally our experience and knowledge going to help us in different field not the the marks that we get in different exams. But everyone have to pass in exams for higher studies to gra a job. So its too important. But our education system mostly decides a person's capaility on his memorizing power not on his knowledge or his creative mind. So I too think that todays examinations has killed education.

I think due to the examination, students study only for the sake of passing. And so that students only referred to the last exam papers only for passing.

So I think everyone should study deeply and by taking interest as per their interested field.

I agree @Devz.

It's good but you know in India the education syllabus is not related to new technology and the criteria of passing marks have very minimum. So I think to change the pattern of all education syllabus and marks criteria.

Not really it completely depends upon how to take them. There are different types of students categorised according to the priorities they study.

1. Some don't study at all.
2. Some study just for marks.
3. And some to have in-depth knowledge of the subject.

Students in the 1st group will anyway not study. While in the 2nd group will study only for marks. While students in the 3rd group will study irrespective of exams.

On one part where there are many suicide cases when students don't clear their exams. Exams and marks can b handled positively assuming they need a little improvement to raise their bar.

Also, parents have to handle such situations in more mature way. Ie they don't pressurise their respective wards for getting good grades.

Because at the end grades are not the only parameter to judge any student.

I thing examination has good for us because the level of check is necessary, our examination pattern is very bad. And the syllabus is very far away from our course. And only student study only theoretical and pass the examination but not have a knowledge for practice. And without practical knowledge, you are not do anything so examination has killed education.

No, not at all, actually, what I think if there are no exams, there will be no evaluation of the performance and ultimately no scope or less scope for development. These are just the excuses that examination is killing the education because if someone is well understood with what he has studied, he will not face any difficulty in writing the same in exams and can also apply the same during practical and that will surely help in well performing along with well understanding. Better take interest in learning and should stop cursing EXAMS.

Exam is like a necessary evil.

In addition, I wanna say that digital study must be implemented in schools. So students could easily visualise the concepts.
