Examinations - has it killed education

NOTHING EVER KILLED ANYTHING. The only thing that killed is the way its used.

Exams were meant to let the student realize his/her current status, not their future. Keeping their mind in succeeding their future, they neglected their interest towards their favorite subjects. And more over exams are basic means of evaluating ourselves.

Hello, friends.

According to my point of view, examination is important because without examination only very less number of students studied their subject properly other not even without exams most of the students don't touch the books.

Exams do not measure the talent of a student but only thing is that due to fear of exams most of the student studied and gain a little knowledge. From the exams, anyone can learn the time management, his/her learning capability. And we are not talking about only written exam there are many practical exams also in our school and college life where many thing we learn in the day of practical exam related to working of machines, software.

If exams would not there then no one interested to know how do they work what is the importance of this machine and software.

Many students has interest in a particular field they are not interested to understand the other subjects but for those students, other subjects also important because in future it will help them. Like a mechanical student learn biology then after that, they know the joint of bones and how a person can move their hands and legs so that they design mechanical operated hand and legs for the physically disable person.

Exams are not judged the people talent but only because of exams no. Of people studied otherwise, they do not open the books.

Exams is a fear but it is good for the people because whatever we write in exams after exam everyone forgot but something they learn from that exam what mistakes he/she did in the exam. From exams, you learn discipline and how to make concentration.

Hi friends, listen guys without exams nothing will prove. That how much the candidate or student have the knowledge or capabilities in themselves. According to me, examination isn't killed education. It depends on the particular student. Our education system wants to introduce the students with their facts that how much knowledge you have or what type of changes you need. If there are no exams in our whole academic year then no one will take the education perfectly. People avoid learning new things. Yeah, the point can consider that if you select the subject in which you haven't any interest. Then you never try to learn it & in your all the academic year you west your life's important time. And I agreed with the point also that the practical knowledge should be introduced in syllabus. So the students didn't get bored with theoretical knowledge. And try to understand the topic perfectly. That's all.

What is the meaning of an education where students only mug up the notes given by their subject teachers and after the examination tend to forget them?

Education is given to make us independent and for enhancing our knowledge. It is an important part of our lives nowadays. The examination has obviously killed education. Education is not only about learning something given in books. It is about discovering what all is present around us and inside us. Many of us have talents. Different skills. But we don't enhance them rather we choose to hide them just because we need marks and percentages for getting a highly paid and well-respected job. But what about our likes and hobbies which can take us a long way in that particular field? All we need is support from our parents for discovering what we really are capable of doing but sadly no one is there to support us. Education system today stops us from achieving our desired goals and examination kills the education we gain per year.

Examination is not burdened it is a treasure of knowledge. Exams are an identity of ours.

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.

Examinations never kills education it is nothing but over understanding we need exam to recall the subject which ever we learned exam is nothing but it is time to express over understanding and over ability to learn and by the exam fear only we learn and we must have exam to know whether the student have a capacity to promote to next class or not these is all about my point of view.

While reading all of the above comments I understood our education system is nearby worst but I think the only reason for this is not exams. The only problem that is making education system worst is mentality to judge some one on the basis of marks or ranks. Exams must be conducted but only to recall whatever we have studied and the change should be made in education system that we have to face exams only for the fields where we are interested. And other subjects should be studied for basic knowledge and if this happens exams will really not remain a burden. Only I want to say is that exams are not killing the education system but it is just the view and system of our society which is going to kill education system.

Hey, friends, I think exams are not a problem it's just the presentation of what we have studied whole year.

I think exams are nothing but just a formality. We should have fun while learning. The stress will only make you have burden but if you learn according to your choice you will surely create history.
