Examinations: A Place of Assessing Learning and Academic Progress
Examinations serve as a structured method to evaluate students' understanding, knowledge retention, and academic progress. They help educators assess the effectiveness of teaching methods and identify areas where students may need additional support. Examinations also prepare students for real-world problem-solving, critical thinking, and time management by testing their ability to apply learned concepts under controlled conditions.
A well-designed examination system fosters fair assessment, continuous improvement, and academic excellence, ensuring that students achieve their full potential while maintaining integrity in learning.
