We still remember the days when with the overflowing class of more than 50 students, a teacher would sit at the front desk, grading piles of papers which were submitted by students. Those were the years when we prioritized grades over knowledge. After the examination, every student turned quiet. The classroom turned into a warzone and friends turned into enemies.
But once we started to study at private level schools, the scenario was different. The level of competition has decreased. The school started to encourage us to participate in different curricular activities conducted by the school. The subjects became more interesting and the course became more flexible and creative. Also, teachers started encouraging students to interact. But did this make knowledge gaining process weaker? Not at all.
As a conclusion, it led us to be more creative and fruitful. Honestly speaking, all Nepali students are not lucky enough to escape the grades and mugging trap of education system. The culture of studying only for exams affects students and hamper their knowledge gaining ability. Nowadays, we can see every single stationery, selling notes and guide books of different subjects, which promise students to get good marks, if they mug up properly.
