Examinations - has it killed education

Examinations are the way to judge the students that how much knowledge they have gained during a certain period of time. Students can check their strengths and weaknesses and work on it.

I partially agree with the topic because in one hand examinations judge our knowledge and reflect it. But on the other hand it reinforces us to study. If there is no examination students may not study hard. Even we are habitual of working hard only before 1 day of examinations. To some extent examinations are the reason that students study just to top in the class or to pass the exam.

Finally, I would like to say that we should understand the motive of examinations. We should study just to be knowledgable; exams will be passed/cracked in no time.

Hellow everyone.

My name is Purvi.

I am going to tell about examination kills education.

According to my opinion, Yes! examination kills education every parent is in a rat race. Everyone just wants good great only in academic nothing less than this.

So this behaviour of parents is killing real talent of every student. Some students are very perfect in sports games and many other activities but because of this pressure they have to enrol themselves in education meanwhile they are not so much interested in studies examination also creates jealousy and society in between students and parents students feel alone and depressed if they get less marks so please vote is it correct or wrong I need to get to know.

Thank you everyone.

Hi I am Gurpreetsoni.

According to me examination is the best way to test our knowledge without examination we can't judge ourselves. If a person learn something from his school, collage or from any other place it is only examination to know.

That he learn it properly or not. Examination also motivate a person to do batter for example if a person pass a exam then he will try to do more batter. But according to my thinking if any person or student committed suicide do to his failure in examination then he can never succeed in his life because he is not able to face his failure so how can you expect them that he will be successful in his life he cannot be succeed. So it is wrong thinking that examination kill education.

While reading all of the above comments I understood our education system is nearby worst but I think the only reason for this is not exams. The only problem that is making education system worst is mentality to judge some one on the basis of marks or ranks. Exams must be conducted but only to recall whatever we have studied and the change should be made in education system that we have to face exams only for the fields where we are interested. And other subjects should be studied for basic knowledge and if this happens exams will really not remain a burden. Only I want to say is that exams are not killing the education system but it is just the view and system of our society which is going to kill education system.

The examination is a basic thing which should always available. If we put deep insight in our education, course is designed such way that will produce worker. This is a scent of british traces on our education system and examination too.

Eg, a stone age man want to teach his son about procedure to make wheel. His desire is to make his learn intuitively so he can bring advancement.

That's how technology have been brought over period of human evolution. Examination should focus on intuitions, how well student can utilize his concepts. Most of student prepare themselves for exam, not for subject. Therefore, exam should be designed such way that it will motivate student to take deep insight un subject.

Consider the situation, your one semester has ended and there is no such an exam like thing. What will happen now? How can one evaluate what you have studied in that semester? There are 2 ways either he evaluate you on basis of your practical knowledge in that subject or he may ask you orally. Both of these ways are not effective. Because all subjects can not be implemented practically and orally. If you are going to be enrolled in any job, how will you show your skills at that time? Practically or orally! I An electric technician has equivalent practical knowledge than an Engineer. So is he different?How to make difference. There should be exams that show how well you know your subjects and stream.

Yes, examination is really killing students life. If you consider a Btech as a eg. One semester normally runs max to max for 4months, in this period we should give a number of the internal exams, no of practical exams, final exams and the holidays included it. Now, tell me after giving all these exams whether we have seen the change in ourselves as an engineer? No, we have just increased our memorizing capacity. Don't forget that Education is Knowledge which makes every student to be well disciplined in his/her life. So my final advice is to stop the examination and stop the student's limitations because there are a lot of things present outside, other than examination which we have to look upon.

The examination is a way to test one individual performance and his knowledge. What kills the education is the way we learned in a wrong way. Mostly in India, we learn only to pass in the exams so that we get a job and this leads to the failure of a good education. Even the education system of a nation too involved in it as they include irrelevant topics which is not practical or which can't be used in the future. Students have inferiority in them for the exams. So they just try to remember the concept for the day of the exam and later on it evaporates from their minds.

So, finally, the present education system of our country should be changed so that students should be equipped with skills.

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.

No, I don't thing examinations have killed the education. The examination is the way to evaluate ourself. Through only score cards we realise where we actually stand. Although at the time of placements only score cards don't matter, we should have knowledge in every field and should be good at aptitude, reasoning, vocabulary, general knowledge, current affairs and obviously practical knowledge of our field and we should be evaluated on this basis before placements but to evaluate us, the organisation have to conduct exam for that, so that they can sort the cream from the bulk of candidates. Thus, examinations haven't killed education. The examination is the key to evaluating ourself.
