Examinations - has it killed education

Exam pattern and the persons who are dealing with the education department are killing the students. I agree with a statement, posted by a person, exams testing our knowledge, it is right, but we don't the person who is checking our papers and we don't know how brilliant, the knowledgeable person he is and doesn't know in what mood, they are evaluating our papers. And finally, they are submitting some marks and the world is judging and allowing everything by marks. If someone asked me about the examination that, how should be the exam pattern, we are writing papers in front of lectures, and they must check our papers in front of us. Then we can conclude, how much they know and how much we.

Examinations have not killed education. But treating it as a sole metric of intelligence has. If viewed as an instrument of checking our progress in a subject, exams are necessary. We can see where we stand on a particular subject and improvise accordingly. The problem is rather than viewing it as an improvement tool, the education system has turned it into a competition to score the highest marks. Hence unhealthy practices like rote learning, cramming are encouraged, since the end goal of getting marks has become important than enjoying the process of learning. A paper of limited duration cannot correctly assess a person's knowledge on that subject. Hence instead of forcing students to replicate what they have stored in their memory boxes, examinations should adopt a method wherein the application skills are tested. These assessment tests should be continuous so that it gives everyone a fair chance and put last minute crammers at a disadvantage. In short, examinations are necessary, but it is the need of the hour to give it a complete makeover.

Yes, definitely examinations has killed education because parents give burden to their children to come first in examination or become scholar but then don't think about their children practical enhancement. Examination just based on course or syllabus not help to polish your skills.

Even, Education system becoming complicated now a days. Everyone works for score, not for the achievement.

I think due to the examination, students study only for the sake of passing. And so that students only referred to the last exam papers only for passing.

So I think everyone should study deeply and by taking interest as per their interested field.

I think it is not the examination, but the pattern of assessments that has ruined our education system. Today examination are mere means of checking ones memory. But actually it should be such that it increases the creativity of the students. The assessment techniques which were used 40 years back haven't changed a bit, when the world has changed so much and we need to change with it. No wonder why we have quantity of engineers but very poor quality.

Yes friends, you are right examination had killed everyone's talent in their hearts. Examination is nothing. Exams cause unnecessary stress. No important weightage to sports and other co-curricular activities. How do evaluate quality with a formal test? so one paper cannot change the mind of the talented students.

Yes, the examination has a vital role to kill the education among the students. The students of this generation run after marks. 80% of the students don't have any knowledge about the subject as they mug up one night before the exam. Most of the parents pressurize their children fr getting good grades. Our education system compels the students to memorize as a result of which they lose deep interest in the subjects and become frustrated.

According to my point of view, examination kills education. Education is gaining knowledge and knowing everything in this world. But our education system is based on marks. Mark is more important than learning new things.

Usually 80%of students does not have any knowledge on the subject they just mug up their and vomit in their answer paper. Exams are just to check the memorizing ability. Many will score good marks but will be poor in practicals. From my opinion, I will say that education system should be changed and practicals should be concentrated more.

According to me, Examination has not killed education, as exams are only the means to test the knowledge and capability of the students. Examination is a mean where students prepare themselves accurately. Its helps Students to face Success and failure since childhood. Its strengthen them mentality to face the future. But I, Like to say that, Theoretical Knowledge is given more time and importance than practical. This is one of the reasons that peoples are not getting a job, as there is a lack of practical knowledge to work in the real world. And moreover, students are judged over one parameter.

Thank you.

Students scoring 90<above are also be intelligent on the other hand, they may be bookworms. Examinations are only for studies, but not for life. Students who are weak will be having more intelligence & common-sense.
