Examination is not killing our education, exam pattern is killed our education.

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.

Hey!

The examination is the worst nation. It kills everything we are interested in. They don't teach sports, music, arts, drama, etc.

Whatever we are interested in is not being taught nor considered important in school. We go and study useless junk which nobody's interested in. And the definition of EDUCATION is to learn something. And something doesn't mean the subjects that are taught in school. We have to waste our time doing something we are not interested in. And it does not let a child's creativity to open up. It is a barrier to our talents and interests.

Many get less marks because they aren't interested in it.

Many suicides because they are carrying out useless activities.

Many go in depression because they get less marks (because of examination marks).

Parents scold students for getting less marks, but can't they see that students aren't interested in those things. Most of them give examinations because of their parent's desires. We do something we don't like but do it for someone, we lose a point if our lives. It seems like they are living in our minds and controlling them. It's our life, Not theirs. Nobody dares to confront or be the first one to disagree to that examination of useless junk is important.

But if nobody cares, that'll continue and life of many people would be as usual - a mess. So I'll give the advice to do things that you think is important and the things you love to do, not even like, love.

All the best!

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.
