    Picture a student going to a temple or a

    mosque, praying sincerely to god to save him


    from the imminent danger in the next few days,
    waking up early in the morning, being good
    with teachers; such things happen around the
    time of ‘Examinations’. Hardly does a school
    exist without a test or some form of
    assessment. As far as I am concerned, I
    firmly believe that examinations should not
    be removed for the many benefits that
    accrue.
    In my view, given the current status of
    education system, it is almost unimaginable to
    conceive the abolition of exams. An
    explanation for this could be that in the
    absence of exams, it is difficult to understand
    and trace the developmental path of students.
    Such tracking can help teachers and parents
    plan for remedial programmes. Thus, exams
    play a central role in the education system.
    However, many idealistic educationalists
    strongly argue against examinations that they
    are putting the students in unreasonable stress;
    and are making them go through test items
    which assess their theoretical knowledge.
    Nevertheless, in my view, mild anxiety is always
    essential for the student to give his/her best
    efforts and performance. Similarly,
    assessments can also contain the tasks which
    approximate to real-life situations, and it is
    teacher’s abilities and the policies of
    educational institution that determines the
    level of stress that a student experiences but
    not the examinations by themselves.
