&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The pandemic has forced us to rethink how we live our lives. We must also allow it to dismantle our exam-centric education system that only creates hyper-competitiveness and perpetuates inequalities.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With the aggressive return of COVID-19, we are experiencing heightened anxiety. And amid this turmoil, we are also witnessing the breakdown of &amp;ldquo;normalcy&amp;rdquo; in our education system. As board exams get cancelled or postponed around the country, students, parents and teachers are at a loss. Possibly, many of them, conditioned to believe that education is incomplete without standardised tests or exams, are worried that these young students, apart from the mental agony of the pandemic, will miss what this hyper-competitive society needs: The willingness or the stamina to take part in this exam war, accept the logic of grading, ranking and hierarchising, or the duality of &amp;ldquo;success&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;failure&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, this breakdown of &amp;ldquo;normalcy&amp;rdquo; should make us introspect and ask disturbing questions: Can the ritualisation of standardised tests and exams be regarded as the ultimate substance of education? Or is there more in the life of a learner than the technique of learning exam-strategy, or the competitive urge to be declared as a &amp;ldquo;topper&amp;rdquo;? Paradoxically, at this moment of deep existential crisis, this question has acquired significance. It is in this context that three issues need to be raised.&lt;/p&gt;

Could the coronavirus be the prescription our exam fever needs? -Avijit Pathak

-The Indian Express The pandemic has forced us to rethink how we live our lives. We must also allow it to dismantle our exam-centric education system that only creates hyper-competitiveness and perpetuates inequalities. With the aggressive return of COVID-19, we are experiencing heightened anxiety. And amid this turmoil, we are also witnessing the breakdown of “normalcy” in our education system. As board exams get cancelled or postponed around the country, students, parents and teachers are at a loss. Possibly, many of them, conditioned to believe that education is incomplete without standardised tests or exams, are worried that these young students, apart from the mental agony of the pandemic, will miss what this hyper-competitive society needs: The willingness or the stamina to take part in this exam war, accept the logic of grading, ranking and hierarchising, or the duality of “success” and “failure”. However, this breakdown of “normalcy” should make us introspect and ask disturbing questions: Can the ritualisation of standardised tests and exams be regarded as the ultimate substance of education? Or is there more in the life of a learner than the technique of learning exam-strategy, or the competitive urge to be declared as a “topper”? Paradoxically, at this moment of deep existential crisis, this question has acquired significance. It is in this context that three issues need to be raised. Please click here to read more.
