00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:08,450
Examination — a Necessary Evil
2
00:00:08,459 --> 00:00:15,900
In spite of the fact that examinations have been hated by most of the students
3
00:00:15,909 --> 00:00:18,510
as well as some teachers for decades,
4
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:22,580
they still survive and show no signs of fading away.
5
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:25,680
In our system of education today,
6
00:00:25,689 --> 00:00:28,290
examinations are a common feature.
7
00:00:28,299 --> 00:00:32,760
Our present education system has often been criticized
8
00:00:32,769 --> 00:00:34,930
as too examination-oriented.
9
00:00:34,939 --> 00:00:40,300
However, one must remember that in offices and other areas of work,
10
00:00:40,309 --> 00:00:42,930
examinations still feature clearly.
11
00:00:42,939 --> 00:00:47,520
There is no doubt that the fear and influence of examination
12
00:00:47,529 --> 00:00:49,260
cause much preparation work.
13
00:00:49,269 --> 00:00:52,880
So it therefore appears that examinations,
14
00:00:52,889 --> 00:00:55,160
whether considered good or bad,
15
00:00:55,169 --> 00:00:58,460
would stay for a while as a test of human knowledge.
16
00:00:58,469 --> 00:01:04,150
Examinations are meant to test the intellect of a person,
17
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:08,420
how much he knows or how he has learnt from a particular course.
18
00:01:08,429 --> 00:01:12,340
It is designed to make students study,
19
00:01:12,349 --> 00:01:15,840
which should be their immediate mission in life.
20
00:01:15,849 --> 00:01:19,130
In our competitive world of today,
21
00:01:19,139 --> 00:01:22,410
examinations have a highly selecting role.
22
00:01:22,419 --> 00:01:27,330
In the university, students have to pass annual examinations
23
00:01:27,339 --> 00:01:28,430
before they are allowed to continue,
24
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:31,040
or study a harder syllabus.
25
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:35,210
Moreover, for entrance into a university,
26
00:01:35,219 --> 00:01:39,150
the results of the examination that they take previous to their entrance
27
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,760
would provide a guide as to
28
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:43,960
whether a student has the minimum qualifications necessary.
29
00:01:43,969 --> 00:01:47,890
In offices whether government or private ones,
30
00:01:47,899 --> 00:01:52,590
examination results show clearly whether a person is fit for promotion.
31
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:57,300
The results indicate how much he knows about the work
32
00:01:57,309 --> 00:02:01,880
and in what areas he has to be improved for his future accomplishments.
33
00:02:01,889 --> 00:02:04,750
In all these cases,
34
00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:09,110
examinations inculcate a spirit of hard work and competition.
35
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,810
Students and office workers alike can refresh their mind again and again
36
00:02:14,819 --> 00:02:18,740
on what they have learnt as far as their studies or work are concerned.
37
00:02:18,749 --> 00:02:20,740
This maintains a certain individual and overall standard of knowledge.
