causes and solutions associated with

this

problem. The quality of

education

in languages and mathematics has decreased in recent times.One major reason for

this

is that today's

education

system places enormous importance on exam grades.

For example

, mathematics

students

in my country usually learn the concepts and theories as well as formulas to pass the

exams

.They don't try to solve mathematical problems and

hence

, are not able to answer any questions that are out of their syllabus.

Students

are constantly under the pressure of achieving good marks and

hence

, they learn things superficially

instead

of diving deep into the topic and understanding its concepts .

On the other hand

,

this

problem can be solved quite easily.

This

issue can be solved by reducing the importance we give to the marks obtained in

exams

.

For example

,

students

always say that they would love to learn a new language if there was no exam pressure associated with it.

This

way they can really understand its grammar rules by applying them in real-life conversations.

Thus

encouraging

students

to focus on gaining knowledge and understanding the concepts rather than passing

exams

can be very beneficial. To conclude, even though the present

education

system is responsible for declining

education

standards in areas of literacy and numeracy, the

education

standards can again be improved by reforming the

education

system and taking the focus away from

exams

.A student's main motivation behind studying should be to become knowledgeable and intelligent. Only

then

can the student pass their

exams

with flying colours.
