Examinations - has it killed education

Yes, I do agree examinations have killed education because children are much more focused on grabbing marks rather than knowledge. They don't have their basics clear. All they study is to get marks.

Yes, I agree with it. Students are only learning those parts which will be asked in the examination. They think that having good marks in the examination means they are talented. Also who don't care about marks and try to learn by their heart and if they got fewer marks than those whose studied for 4 days before exam then it creates wrong thinkings in those students.

I totally disagree with it because all your preparations, knowledge and dedication is worthless If you don't know where you are standing. Regarding marks, Well it depends on the mentality of an individual whether he counts himself or herself on the score or the knowledge. Weakness and Strengths both are important aspects of any battleground stepping into it.

I think that examinations are important in some case.

If a student study everything in a practical way then he doesn't need to give exam and if he gives exam also then he will get nice marks.

He will win all the race in life.

But if he gave the exam by not understanding anything then he will fail in his life even though he would have secured highest marks in class.

So through examination one can't say who is intelligent.

Examination have killed education because nowadays student are more interested in getting marks than to understand it. In today's worlds there is a huge syllabus and to overcome it, student usually learn by their heart. Students those who don't have the learning up power they usually commit suicide.

Yes, I do think. From my view education clearly, means learning new things and having knowledge not mugging up due to the pressure of examination for getting good marks. I would like to elaborate by giving an example parents are pressurising their children to have good academic performance and because of that child are not learning they are mugging up.

The examination is a must in any education system transcending the drawbacks of rote learning one must know how to learn with understanding and also relate it to an entity in the physical world.

Hello friends,

According to me, Examination little bit spoiling our education system but we can't say it's killed our education. Suppose if you think it's not happening in our life then some student losses our education, I agree that exam should not be criteria to judge the ability of students. Some student can get good marks by mugging even if they don't know anything related to that subject but we can't be repealed that system it's affected education. And even that here no matter that how much secure a mark in examination due to this examination sometime whenever we are going to start a self-study of our examination subject we gain lots of knowledge about this particular subject.

The examination deals with the only theory part. That's why most of the students are concentrate on the book part. That time the practical approach of the subject is missing by the students.

So, In the industry level practical point are useful so examination is really killed the education.

The examination is not better than practical.

Our education system gives more focus on theory rather than practical knowledge but if you say examination kills education than its wrong because the exam is a thing by which you come to know that where you are among others but yes it is a little bit wrong when you are judged by your theory results.

Education and Examinations should a base more on practical knowledge or real world knowledge rather than only focus on books. To make students practically involved in studies.
