Do we learn so that we should fail?

It is an old tradition of our newspapers is to announce the names ‘top three’ position holders of any examination. Which is nothing but a statistical improbability, because out of tens of thousands of students appearing in an exam it is ludicrous that only three students should fully comprehend the subjects they were taught.
If this is true then it would mean that all the other candidates for the exams are complete idiots who could not understand the subjects they were taught. There is something seriously wrong with this, either all should fail all should get equal marks because they were all given the same subjects to study hence should provide the same results. It is impossible to believe that only three students every year get the topmost marks while the rest lag behind. No one studies in order to fail one seeks admission in an educational institution so that one gets an opportunity to learn. No one will invests in anything in which the chances of failure is the most likely outcome. Schools (and other educational institutions) do not provide guarantees that a student will get good marks in the given subjects, although they get paid in advance – parents end up paying large sums of money and the schools have nothing at all to show for it. They will never accept the fact they have behaved absolutely fraudulently. Parents should be reimbursed if their child fails in exams. Schools take all the credit when a student does well but is not prepared to take blame, this is nothing short of a crime.
The result of examinations is exactly like gambling in which the chance of winning is 3 in ten thousand every year, for any given course. It is more than obvious that this system exists so as to discourage people from getting higher education because there is not enough space in places of higher learning so the fewer the students the better. The existing system is designed to make students fail discourage them from learning more. A perfect education system would be that students should acquire more knowledge as the years go by The concept of ‘strict marking’ drives parents crazy they desperately want their children to win in a system designed to make their children fail. Parents go around looking for tutors, some for almost all the subjects. What the parents forget is that no matter how well their child answers the questions in an exam it is no guarantee that their child will get through with flying colours – the existing system will never allow it. Our examination system is a remnant of the British Raj – in educational imperialism was its height. Places like Oxford, Cambridge and Eton had always this elitist veneer (perhaps for no reason alone, more than any other the British lost their empire, on which ‘The Sun Never Set’). It is high time an examination system should stop being turned into a gambling fare and turned into a system in which all the students get promoted automatically and no distinction should be made between them. There is so much to learn so much to understand and there are countless subjects. Schools in particular limit the subjects to nine to the maximum which is a great injustice, because human knowledge has no limits, why not have a thousand subjects and taper them off so that students start selecting those subjects which they prefer. That would require a thousands teachers. It may sound idealistic but that is what the system should really be like. With no failure clause, more interest in subjects would develop because there will not be the constant fear of failing in any particular subject. The purpose of education would be to nurture interest not apathy. People are not machines, they cannot write legibly, they cannot memorise things and play it back like a tape recorder but the present system requires students should just that - which more than enough reason to cheat. Students are expected to have perfect handwriting and an exceptional memory which patently absurd. The stress should not be on memory and an incredibly legible handwriting and complete understanding that is not the purpose of education. Education is for its own sake fill the minds of students with information – a particular set of subjects would evoke greater interest than others, so the student could study those subjects and go deeper in trying into fully understand the, try to find answers for them. Where there are none make their discoveries that is the true measure of how good an education system is. Examinations are redundant by all standards and should be done away with permanently, even the examination of foreign universities are absolutely useless. With no failure should be built in,. the primitive system of tests, class-work and homework should be done away with. The quest should be simply to learn if one can everyday a little bit more from one day to the next. No complaining by the schools that a child is ‘not paying attention’, ‘is careless’ all such things are absolute rubbish. Some teachers are extremely boring and dull anyone would fall asleep in the class of such a teacher, the monologue is droll and dull. There are also certain subjects which students find absolutely boring and dull. Students cannot be blamed if the teachers are unable to teach or is unable to develop interest in the subject they teach. The job of teachers is to make the extra effort to make each and every student in the class understand - if the student is unable to comprehend it is entirely the fault of the teacher and the schooling system.
Teachers are not really teachers, they are just people doing a job, their interest in the welfare and benefit of the students does not exist. The schools are business empires, they are not for providing education, they are for stealing as much money as possible in all calls of fees which is never justified.
There are two kinds of systems running in this country – the national education system and the preferred foreign one called the Cambridge System which is another monstrous hoax. The questions are the same but they are reworded so as to confuse students and course books are changed. The idea is to cause as much confusion as possible and to ensure 99 per cent failure. The snob value is what attracts people to get their children study for ‘O’ and ‘A’ level. The subjects are stupid and irrelevant. They are not designed to EDUCATE it is to OBFUSCATE. The Cambridge System is a venal British Imperial system which should be banned.
