RE: The Need for Change: Making Exams More Effective and Relevant

in Hive Learners9 months ago (edited)

You see one thing I have noticed is that we go to school for the purpose of sitting down and passing exams and then we repeat the same process again. But then when it comes doing our job as an employee,we can't even make use of that knowledge again because we have been brought up with that mindset of just cramming ,go into the exam hall,pour out everything and then pass the exams. In my school now, computer science students are paying about 1.2million naira per year and they don't even do much practicals only theory. Now imagine when is time for them to apply for jobs won't they have a problem?? That is the problem we are facing in educational fields in the country. Me I have sha adviced some of them to stop wasting their money and just leave school to go and apply for a course somewhere where they can even pay less and get the best practical and efficient learning because that is just the best thing for them and their future.

Just imagine such scenario. This is why students would say school is a scam. They aren't teaching the core things they should while preparing students fully for the outside world. Well, to me, I would say they should finish their school, then take more professional courses online to get themselves abreast of lots of information needed to continue their career or even switch to a more profitable one.
