Learning should be given more priority over exams

Most of the students are having anxiety problem regarding their results in examination. Thanks to Mr. Kapil Sibal that they will be provided with the grades making the situation little easier but even though the numbering of A+ grade will be considered the most. In short our whole examination system is basically based on mugging up and it doesn't assess our actual or real ability. There are many ill effects due to this inappropriate examination system.Recently the Infosys chairman N.R. Narayana Murthy gave advice to the children that they should focus on learning rather than just concentrating on their examination and results.In fact the bookish knowledge and the whole examination process has made us incapable and we are failing to bring the necessary changes within our society. We have plenty of subjects in our school curriculum but we hardly gain any practical knowledge which will benefit us in our coming future.You take the mock test of a candidate and just ask him what questions he got and the answers he has written for those questions. He will not be able to explain properly. He will forget the content once the show is over. Our whole concentration is to obtain good marks and clear the exam.But the result of these examinations is not taking us to pass the examination of our lives. Most of us struggle to utilize the knowledge we have got in our schools. The increasing rate of unemployed educated youth is the proof of this. If we would have given priority to learning over exams the things could have been different.The situation can improve if we go to the school regularly. A student must always be curious and desirous to learn. He must listen to the teacher with full concentration and try to implement them in his life. Surely his ability and skill will improve. The suggestion of Mr. Narayana Murthy is very relevant in today's era. Since many youth are jobless and frustrated, if they have skills in them definitely their will be lots of job offer for them.Education not only enlightens our spirits but also enhance our skills. These skills make you more capable and valuable in society. And by virtue of these ability you can change the society and will be appreciated everywhere.
