“EXAMS should
be Abolished”
Dignified members of
jury and my dear friends. Good morning. And I am here to express my views on
the topic “Exams should be abolished”.
First of all,
addressing to my teachers, I would like to say, sir to study, to achieve
something is fine but appearing for any exam is biggest trouble that is faced by
we-the students. Every day we read newspapers that abound us with the stories
of suicide attempts by students due to exam pressure. Recently an IIT student
committed suicide due to depression caused because one did not do well in
exams. Sometime ago a mother jumped off her balcony when her daughter did not
do well in exams. These are not isolated cases of exam induced suicide, there
is a specified pattern to it, especially result days and around exams. All this
shows that examinations add to fear and hysteria amongst not only students as
well as their parents. Exams terrify youth and children who get into depression
and develop aversion from every activity around them and even behave in
abnormal way with their parents.
In my point of view,
our education system is only result, exam and marks oriented. ‘The great
education bazaar’ has given rise to compulsive tuitions and coaching centers.
We should make a concerted effort to improve the system to avoid unpleasant
incidents in society. Instead students should be guided to learn in good
healthy environment without any pressure of exams. If exams are banned,
students can learn more whole heartedly and willingly.
I’d like to raise a
question for all the learned to answer-“Are we justified in giving sleepless
nights and days full of stress to our young generation only to continue the
age-old concept of exams?” No we don’t
have a right to make their blossoming lives a living hell.
There are numerous
other ways to assess one’s personality, learning capacity and intelligence.
So, I,
therefore, support the abolition of exams.
Thank you and have
charming day!!
