Our examination system

Education makes life worth living.A country without a proper system of education can make no progress.Only the educated and skilled people can pave the way to progress.For good education,an adequate system of examination is necessary.Unfortunately,our system of examination is not satisfactory.It is replete with faults.

The current system of education is such as tests the memory of the students.It is not a fair test of knowledge,understanding and comprehension.The questions asked in the examination are not such as may promote the inborn faculties of students.The usual practice among the students is to learn everything by heart without complete comprehension of it.This is practiced in the present system of examination.Though the students pass the examination in this way,they cannot develop their awareness greatly.

Furthermore,the method of evaluation of scripts is faulty.Every examiner has his particularly outlook,temperament and a specified way of observation.Even the atmosphere affects the mood of examiners.As a result,the assessment is somewhat personal and therefore inaccurate.Moreover,the questions asked in the examination are subjective;they cannot be awarded exact marks

In our country,the climate is of extreme kind.The examination take place usually in hot summer.The scorching heat leads to several troubles.The students cannot concentrate fully on their studies.They have to go to the examination hall in the scorching heat of summer.Moreover,our academic terms are short because of extreme weather conditions.Consequently,the students cannot read their course fully.This also adds to the difficulties of the students in the examination.

I have some suitable suggestions for the improvement of our examination system.

First,the examinations should be held in spring season so that the students may work in the pleasant weather conditions.This will enable the students to focus their attention on studies.This would also increase the length of the academic year.Second,the question papers should be set in such a way as they should be a real test of the students' knowledge and insight.

Third,the declaration of result should be prompt and quick.This will save the time of the students.Even the length of the academic term would be increased.

Fourth, the students securing outstanding positions should be awarded prizes.They should be honored with scholarships.This will increase the passion for study among the students.I hope that the government would take prompt steps in this regard.
