Examinations - has it killed education

Exam is the way to test our knowledge. But why our knowledge is tested? I have knowledge. I gain it not to show everyone, I gain it to do it theoretically. Education system is totally killed by this examination. Now a days education is not about gaining knowledge its all about a race and everyone is running to touch the rope, they can not see that there 1000 miles to go to complete the race.

Thank you.

I would like to speak on the topic that students should choose their own subjects to study rather than university which try to impose as many as they can, with this system neither university will get good results nor we, students must have idea of practical use of their education otherwise they wouldn't be able to use it, on which they spends years.

According to me exam is platform to test our knowledge. But we considers as a race, every student wants to get more score. But in such way we are not gaining our knowledge, but we are getting temporary satisfaction.

My friends education means what you have learned. Actually exams are the test process to check the ability of a candidate for his gained knowledge. But we have made it division wise like first division, second division. Exam has not killed our education, but we have made it at fault. We have made it only marking status. If a candidate gets good marks for his examination is good. If failed, he may feel it is bad. To make it a good for education, we should not make it result oriented. We should make it excellence oriented. It will be good if we follow the dialogue of Three idiot movie 'Don't Go For Success Go For Excellence'.

Hello my dear friend,

My opinion about this sensitive topic is that YES Examination has killed students. It has given lots of mental and physical pressure to us. Mental Pressure is there from two sides one is of too much and lengthy syllabus and the other from our parents. From our parents means they are thinking that getting good marks in EXAM means that we are good in studies and will be successful in future and getting bad marks in EXAM means that we are bad in studies and will be not successful in future and will not have a great career.

So, our parents force us to get good marks in EXAM anyhow. They didn't understand that by learning the basic things of the matter for lifetime and to get minimum marks is better to memorize the things for a short period of time and to omit it in the paper and to get full marks. They always run behind marks instead of giving sufficient time to their child.

And physical pressure because they think that by giving us in many tutions we can get more knowledge but we are getting the same knowledge by reading in one tuition only. And the students can't bear all this pressure.

Thank you.

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.

According to me, school exams have killed students inner potential. Students mug up the whole syllable for a particular exam and after sometime they forget what they have learnt whole year. Whereas knowledge means the talent that stays with us for our whole life. Students should understand the subject and stop mugging up.

Examination system is an integral part of the Education system but not the examination system which we have adopted, wherein we are just testing memory of the children(students) and killing their creativity. To evolve a healthy education system where every available talent can be nurtured, we have to divide our curriculum in such a way that every child can use their natural talent and excel in the field in which they want to go, not a standard pattern what today we have irrespective of whether child understands or not just mug-up and vomit. Learning is much beyond this marks system and let us advise to our government to get away from these old system, at least sooner is the better Board examination should be abolished once for all to make our future generation stress free and save their inherent talent.

I think, it doesn't make sense that exams kill creativity or exam result in talented outcome. CREATIVITY is far more important than CAPABILITY. So just the simple logic is that the way, in which the questions are asked must be changed. The topics like aptitude and reasoning must be included in every national level examination irrespective of the department or profession. By this we can extract the people who not just only are capable of studying a large content, but also can tackle with different situations.

Hello,

I am Vivek,

We can never judge any students by taking their exam only because students prepare their selves only for exams and after some time they forget all things. Exam gives students pressure and at the time of exam, students keep in their mind fear of exam and only try to get more and more marks as possible. So from exam, one can not judge that who is better.
