8. In education system, assessment through written formal
examinations is valid or not.
Education is a very important part of our lives. Thousands
of parents around the world send their children to the best schools so that
they can get the best knowledge. A child’s intelligence is assessed based on
the written tests in schools. But its validity still remains a question to a
few. This essay will discuss the same.
Firstly , Written tests are held in practically all the
educational institutes around the world. The marks attained in these exams
prove the student’s intelligence. The questions asked in these tests are based
on what is taught in class. This helps the teacher to know the grasping skills,
knowledge, memory and the writing skills of the students. Furthermore, the
teacher also knows the students who are weak in studies and thus can give extra
attention to them. Remedial classes can also be held for these children.
Secondly, many parents help their children in assignments
and homework that is given by the teachers to be completed at home. Children
who find difficulties in answering the questions either take help from parents
or copy it from their classmates. This doesn’t help them in learning the
subject.
To conclude, Written formal examinations are by far the best
way to help the students, parents and teachers to know the student’s
shortcomings and hence help them improve in the same. Hence, I am convinced
that written examinations should be held in institutions until a better method
to evaluate the student’s intelligence and learning skills is discovered.
