“The purpose of examination should be to check the knowledge of a person but it is always taken to embarrass me†(Sir Churchill)
Examinations are believed to be a source of testing the knowledge of a student. In annual examination most of the schools, colleges and boards take exams to check what students have learn a whole year. But according to my point of view, these exams are taken to just check the sharpness of the memory of a student as much of the students just memorize everything and attempt the papers with no basic concepts and ideas of what they are writing.
Most of the exams of our country are just memory-base test which is wrong. I think that there should be a mixture of memory as well as some practical application of that knowledge as it has been said by our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH):
‘’Knowledge is useless without implementation’’
We should introduce such a system which includes half marks for memory-base knowledge and half marks for its practical applications. It would be very helpful in developing a skillful youth and a skillful nation.
