Examinations - has it killed 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.

Examinations are the real devil of our education system. Exams focuses on ability to memorize rather than on understanding the concepts. In general exceptional students and innovators waste their time in proving their ranking in an examination.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, examinations are conducted to test the students ability and to improve the creativity of the students. I can say that examinations are not killing the education but the pattern of the examination is killing the education and it also ruins many students life. Examinations should be held so that we can correct our Mistakes and we can get confidence on ourselves.

According to me, school exams have killed students inner potential. Students mug up the whole syllable for a particular exam and after sometime they forget what they have learnt whole year. Whereas knowledge means the talent that stays with us for our whole life. Students should understand the subject and stop mugging up.

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 one of the parts of education.

This education system is not a learning knowledge only to muck up and vomiting the paper. Surely examination is killed education.

No, exam does not killed the education as it check our knowledge, mental strength and effiency that we gain over a certain period of time.

But exam should be more application and ptractical oriented rather than memorizing the theories so that along with better understanding of theories, students get the ability to think out of box to get creative and innovative ideas among them.

Yes, I think examination is no need to improve our knowledge because if one will score high mark by knowing to write without any grammatical mistake, another one doesn't have that much knowledge in language so he can't able to express in written form. By this, we can't conclude he is weak in education. In my point of view, he can have more knowledge than who have scored more in an examination, so, the examination will not decide our knowledge.

Thanking You.

Yes. Examination has killed Education. Examination makes children stress this make the study for hours and days and night this make our body soft and clumsy. We stay at home and we will not be aware of the world. Our school is taking 40 marks exams every month we can't even get out of my house and there are so much competition and pressure for future that we have studied. We can't leave our studies like that.

Yes, examinations have never been correct, the way it happens is not the correct format.

1. Children by heart all the answers, and the ones they remember and put on the paper good the marks.

2. Some even just read the important ones or most probable ones.

3. With this type of exams, most children become lone and focus on scoring rather than learning.

This whole system is no point and no use.

I real life, we do every time refer and make the decision, we need to be more collaborative, discussing and deciding.

It should be more of practical kind of, where give tasks in the group of students let then analyse refer books and solve the give problems. Which creates healthy environment, communication, proactive, learn from failed attempts and progress.

Scores should be based on behavior, learning ability, communication, proactiveness, problem-solving skills, sports, cultural activities in the whole year, and written tests.
