Doing away board exam resulted in decline of standard of Education

Exam is thought of as a way to train students for the tough tests they undergo later in life. If home is thought to be the first place of education, school  comes next. Its importance lies in its being as a place which allows a child to have first interaction with the outside world. The all-round development of a child depends a lot on the school where he or she reads. But doing board examination in school has resulted in the deterioration of education standards.  Reports show that without annual examinations, the quality of education is going down. Students don’t work hard under the impression that they would be promoted to the next class without any evaluation. The current trend of declaring all students pass up to class VIII is very dangerous.

The present system of evaluation will show the children educated on paper, but they won’t be up to the mark on the learning scale. Compulsory elementary education to every child does not mean education on paper only. The standard of education must be maintained and it should be ensured that each student studies the prescribed books and learns his lessons. The best way to test it is examination.
