One more examination in the curriculum. I feel education system should introduce something interactive to judge the skills of students other than scores only.
Definitely these exams will help kids to sharpen their knowledge, but why not we judge extra curricular activities or in other words the try to discover the God gifted skills in kids by conducting some exams?
