Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. Continual asessment such as course work and projects is not a satisfactory way to do this. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement

Nowadays the assessment of children's education has changed over a period of time. There was a trend, that schools assessed the

student

's performance based on the

examination

, but now has improved a lot by giving tasks and project

work

. I agree with

this

point and the detailed points given in

this

essay. First of all, the Indian education system is based on exam-oriented assessment.

Hence

, the children's parents and teachers are so keen to get good marks in their exams, but they are not bothered about whether they understand the particular

subject

or not.

For instance

, if the

student

well performed in the

examination

, but they don't have clarity the

student

is useless.

Additionally

,

this

will lead to underperformance, and they will not be able to relate to what they studied in the real world.

This

will major impact on their life, and to mitigate the same, the education system has to change.

Secondly

, there was recent change happened in most educational institutions and they adapt the culture to new ways of assessment of the

student

. They started giving the

subject

work

on a regular basis,

due to

which the students actively participated, and they will learn with open minds so that they can actively remember the concept that they studied.

For example

, if they do the project

work

on the

subject

what they are learning will give them more understanding of what they do and have more confidence in what they learning.

Furthermore

, they have to collaborate with the students and they will learn how to

work

as a team. In conclusion, the formal

examination

is the one way to assess the

student

, and if not understand by the

student

what they studied is not helpful in their life. The project and

subject

work

will helpful for them to shine in both their studies and career life. I completely agree with these points as the

examination

will give only the marks, but studying with practical experience will help in future.
