Examinations - has it killed education

According to my thoughts Examination is a test of one's knowledge of how far you have come regarding your potential to study a given syllabus. It tests one's capability of how much one has learnt so far.

In today's world education mostly lacks discipline and one's own creativeness and knowledge of the subject. Rather it has become market-oriented. It seems if there is no good grade there can't be an option for the future. That's where our thought as a teacher as a parent and as institutions runner mistakes.

Education should be a norm for humanity to gain knowledge of our surroundings and our environment. It does not necessarily mean you need to get 100 out of 100. It means the practicality of the thing you have been taught and how you applied it for the betterment of society at large. But we are all doing it just to get the grade 100 out of 100.

If the only examination is meant to test your knowledge of your thoughts and of your creativity not just to get grades. Then our education is fulfilled and we will see more of good students passing out rather than simply grade holders.

What education should really mean is to bring out the responsibility and self-awareness that a person possesses for the betterment of society and the world at large. Then there will be fewer criminals and less crime in our society. And after you are educated enough and gain your degrees in whatever fields you choose after completing it whatever fields you choose to become for the rest of your life will be a meaningful and satisfying life. For you have learnt so much from your schools by educating you to be a better person in future rather than simply a grade holder with a useless person for the society and the world.

That is should be the definition of education and not simply exam takers and grade holders. Eduction is a part of us all until we die we keep on learning and there is no end. But grade has its limitation and it stops when you get your degrees.

So let's make education an easy and disciplined curriculum for the students and to bring out the best within them and their potential of creativity and thoughts established as they grow older and not be just an exam taker or a grade holders.

Practical knowledge of subjects is what a student need in his/her life. Without it he/she may get a degree but will never make him/her a professional.

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'.

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.

I Don't think so, Examination is the way for a student to express their capabilities, although its never about that study one night before exam and to vomit everything other days, We learn from exams many things like how to be punctual, how to finish our work in time, how to prepare for something important to get the good result, Being competitive is not the crime, competition is important not only in exams but also in real life that this person is doing good things I should also do this kind of things, we should get motivated with the good things around us.

And we talk about the student committing suicide is because of the pressure they fee, l not to get good rank and we as a student we should understand that only one examination can't decide our abilities, there are bulk of opportunities waiting for us.

Hello friends,

Examinations and knowledge are 2 main aspects of life but according to present, examinations are not only building up pressure & stress on the students life and also kill their creativity power.

Examinations should be knowledge oriented not marks and grade oriented. Education should also have it's prime focus on employment not on the reputation of the institution and universities.

Also, the meaning of education is not mugging something and omit it on the paper for short period of time for heaven feeling of self.

In present generation schools unnecessarily pressurizing everyone including kids to get 90% above. Here are so many exams annually like weekly, half-yearly, etc. So student have barely any time for extra curricular activities.

Also, examinations are killing the actual meaning of education as it's very obvious that nowadays students are only mugging up the portion of syllabus that's all which will not fetch them much rather just a dull future.

Education does not mean scoring good marks as if we take the example of Mr. Bill Gates was a dropper. But if we see him how he is one of the richest man in world.

Thanks for reading.

Hello guys,

My name is Keshav,

I read out everyone view, about the examination. I don't say that exams are not necessary for us. But guys think how will you show your talent to the world, by your mark sheet? Everyone scores good marks it's a common thing but everyone doesn't have the same talent. You can simply identify a red apple from a green apple's group. However, the exam doesn't show your talent. You can only check your knowledge through exams but you can't learn skills.

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 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.

According to me, Yes, examination has killed education, especially in India. It's because our education system solely concerns more about theories than practical knowledge about the subject. The innovate ideas of the students are buried inside.

The students of this generation go on completing the whole syllabus one night before the exam, they just memorise the concepts and don't understand the practical implementation of them.

Parents pressurise their children to get good grades and keep on comparing with other students, which causes anxiety, depression and frustration.

So, I think exams should be a test of knowledge and shouldn't turn to be the reason of depression.
