Examinations were introduced into the education system as early as the 1700s and have since then been considered the gold standard of assessment. This system stands by the mindset of providing an equal chance to then further segregate the individual into various occupations. For example the ones scoring high in math would take up accounting jobs or bank jobs, ones good at social studies would get into journalism or law. To sum it up an individual could choose his career based on his aptitude in the subjects resulting in a balanced economy.
On the contrary, careers must be chosen by the individual himself and must not be subjected to the results of an examination. A closed examination, a variable of books and memorization must not be the decision-maker of a person’s life. For example, The hierarchy of a boy scoring poorly in math boards does not give a verdict of him being bad at stock brooking or business.
Mistakes or predictions of mistakes in career options should not be a pillar that stands for such evaluations. Thus, in my opinion, examinations though argue to encompass the ability to assess a man’s goals should not be given that authority. Written tests not only curb an individual's interests they also arrive with an impacting blow to his/her self confidence. For example, if all the animals in a forest such as tigers, lions, fishes, giraffes, bears and monkeys were to be given a task of climbing a tree, the results are obvious. The incapability of the fish to climb a tree can never discount the ability of it to swim.
Thus, in conclusion, I strongly believe that a revolution in schooling and college systems is quite necessary for the virtue of healthier people and healthier minds.
