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.

Examinations are needed. Without examination it becomes difficult to prove that we have owned a particular degree or any other educational qualification. Presently there is no other alternative method for it. Without examinations what is the evidence for studying in an educational institution for years. And how could a university give you certificate for a certain degree? So those who are against examination must offer alternative solution to this problem.

In real if we consider a math exam if we do not score good marks than we are treated poorly in that subject but it is wrong in that exam we scored less marks due to lack of time or pressure to finish it on time and on the hand if we do that question at home we can slovenly them easily so exam is not a way of determining one's knowledge so only focus should be given to increasing knowledge and one's talent should determined by his interest in that field.

Yes, examinations have killed education. As a student of 7th I have come across this situation. All my classmates and I want only ranks and we just mug up everything. We don't want to gain knowledge we just want percentage. How can a piece of paper decide anyone's future? If a child had many abilities but he is not good in studied he is just ignored by everyone. Only student who is good in studies can exhibit his talent. Exams have killed everything.

I think it is not the examination, but the pattern of assessments that has ruined our education system. Today examination are mere means of checking ones memory. But actually it should be such that it increases the creativity of the students. The assessment techniques which were used 40 years back haven't changed a bit, when the world has changed so much and we need to change with it. No wonder why we have quantity of engineers but very poor quality.

Examination are essential to promote one to work regularly and responsibly, it is needed to keep someone on track of working out things better yet we have also seen that these a time either the parents are giving lot a pressure to their child to retain a good position in this competitive world which may sometimes be depressive or child is taking itself as pressure which comes out as a suicidal and harming events, what I think is a matter of concern.

Examination is only the measure to test our progress in our domain in which we are training. That training can be any thing like sports, studies or even art. The Examination doesn't need to be only the written test or a pen and paper test, like the image of examination is formed. Even the sports meet, art competition and other tournaments are also just the other forms of examination. So examination has not killed the education but only refined it.

Well, I don't think so it has killed education. Taking my example I usually study before exams which are a great way to keep up our learnings and it acts as a revision in our mind. So examinations are a must in the education system. Apart from this examinations plays a crucial role in getting into the corporate world or entering into a new college. Examinations serve the foundation for the competition which makes person strive for achievement.

Good evening.

According to me, it is very easy to understand that you cannot ignore examination because it shows you where you are? For proper measurement examination is very need full.

It's not happen in academic life only but also in real life. What mistake have done in past examinations learn from it measure, and move ahead with proper improvement.

But I want to highlight on thing that examination like academics is stopping student grow.

Yes, the examinations has killed education because students learn or cram up subjects just in order to score marks but in terms of practical knowledge students do not learn anything which results in many students not getting jobs because of no practical knowledge to work in the real world, and even once the exams are over the students tend to forget everything they had studied because they had not applied those concepts in the real world ever.
