Exam evaluation system should be Scientific

[sajiv]

The State government has decided to limit the number of examinations in schools to two every year — in October and March. Will this help reduce the burden on students, or will it make them complacent

Welcome move:
The ban on examinations in schools is a welcome move. Let us go back to the days of our schooling when there were no frequent examinations. It is possible to assess the progress of students without examinations. We need a sense of understanding to achieve our goals. More dedicated on part of teachers is essential. The parents should also be cooperative. All other socio-economic hurdles can be cleared by the government. I appreciate the government's bold move

Hold monthly test:
Reducing the number of exams will give students ample time to develop new skills. Regular monthly tests could be held to test the progress in studies. The State government's moves to improve the quality of education will bear fruit if implemented properly.

Just an annual exam: As a school student, I welcome the decision to reduce the number of examinations in a year. Why is this system not implemented in CBSE schools also? When holidays are declared in the State, it is not applicable to CBSE schools, when new educational policies are brought in, they are not applicable to us. Unit tests are held in schools every month or at least once in two months and these tests are sufficient to valuate the progress of students. So, instead of the two examinations, the government should consider conducting just the annual examination in March for all the classes. Promotions can be given on the basis of this exam.
