Examinations - has it killed education

I am not against the examination system, but there need some changes in our system. We are forced to give the exam according to the university syllabus, sometimes we are not good at the particular subject and we get fewer marks.

And further in future we are judged or face rejections according to that mark. So I think it needs some changes in the examination system.

Of Course, exams are spoiling our education. Education should be built step by step. It should not be pushed. Talent and knowledge keep our life to move forward. I like to give you one example: In Higher, secondary everyone forced to get top marks but now we can't found that person, who got the first mark and just for others satisfaction. We can found some persons who discontinue their current studies and moving again to their interest ones. Like that Making waste of time in examinations. We can plan some interesting in their studies not to be a bookworm. We can provide practicals in every study. Which help them life long to remember their studies.

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.

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.

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.

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

The examination has not killed the education system, rather it is a way to judge the knowledge and intelligence of any student. In school, if students are only taught the lessons and if there will be no any examination then how can a teacher judge whether the subject what he has taught is clear to all the students or not. Students are in the regular practice of study due to examination and they remain in touch with the subject. It also mentally prepare a student to overcome to the challenge and reduce the havoc of examination by which they can face any examination in future.

Hello, friends, I'm Mayank.

In My opinion, Examination is compulsory to evaluate the students. Some myths are there about Examination ie they are only for burden, marks hinder talent or more. These myths are false and need to cleared by the teachers.

Examination checks the amount of knowledge gained by the students during the particular course.

Good morning to all.

I am Rajiv Sukhla. Thank you for giving me the chance to discuss today's topic "Has examination killed education?".

So there are pros and cons to this topic. So pros of this topic are that it gives a person an evaluation of what he learned in his/her academic field and can evaluate himself what are his/her weak points. But it creates pressure or stress on students and this can lead to students underperforming or can toll on their mental health. But we can't ignore that the exam pattern in most schools/universities focuses on cramming subjects rather than knowledge.

So definitely in many aspects examination is killing education.

Thank you.

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.
