Examinations - has it killed education

Examinations kill education, really I am agreeing with this. Exams are just to check the memorizing ability. I know many people who will score well in exams but they will be poor in practicals, this is because of their memorizing ability. Exams are just to vomit the words to answer sheet that had eaten from books. From my opinion, I will say that education system should be changed and practicals should be concentrated more.

THANK YOU.

Yes, I think the Indian examination system has killed the education system. In present the system everyone is more concerned about are marks. Students focus on things which fetch them marks, teachers focus on teaching what will probably come in exam. From an early age, students are compared by teachers and parents on basis of marks which creates a kind of tension among the low performing students, however, they can be good in some other areas, which they should try to discover and try to excel in that particular 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.

Examinations are important for us but if these are taken in right way.

By exam, we only just analyse the memorising capabilities of a student.

But we have to check the understanding capabilities of a student.

No. Examinations aren't only specified for education. Examinations are something that are used to TEST what you are good at. Its the education system that screwed up this education. I anyone got bad score in anything it means that he/she isn't good in it. So they have to try something and test themselves to know what they are good at. Everything in this world has to be examined to know how good it is. So its only the differences in the education system that's making the country's level of education.

It's not the examinations that kill the education. It's the system that has brought the education to this level. Examinations are the measure of knowledge. You can only know that you are good at something unless you test it. And that tests are termed as examinations. So it's the education system that's killing the education. For example countries like Finland, their education system is completely different and obviously, they are successful and still they have examinations.

Examinations are not the only way to judge the student's talent. But, in today's life, they will judge the student's talent only on the basis of the scores got by the student.

The faculty shows extra interest on those who is topped in the exams. So, there is no other way for the student rather than to mug up and vomit in the exams. So. That they should not get any criticism in front of others. We cannot judge the capability of a student based on his marks. If we conduct the examinations in a healthy manner I mean not by mugging based upon his understanding. This will be helpful for the student life long.

I think that children just keep on mugging up their syllabus to score marks. They think that it would be a proud moment for their parents if they secure good ranks. But they do not realise that they are spoiling their future and damaging their career by doing that.

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.

I don't think examinations system has killed education, but with modernisation, surely our examination system has also changed. Early people used to study in order to gain knowledge, to make their dream come true, but today's generation only focuses on getting passed.

Thus leniency and not-so-serious approach towards life have killed our education system.
