Nonetheless, the current educational path, allowed by CCE pedagogic methods, has freed pupils from strict public examinations until they reach the end of their school years. As a result, the children’s learning abilities and knowledge may be underdeveloped.
Competitive exams has now over ruled the world. It goes without saying that the current generation of youngsters lives in a very competitive society. A purely bookish-based classroom curriculum will not provide them with the necessary knowledge to meet the current problems in a fast changing world.
School pupils can be allowed to participate in Competitive Exams offered by various independent organizations in order to determine their true potential and talents at the school level. These assessments are critical for youngsters to be exposed to a competitive environment and to build the necessary confidence to meet future difficulties and goals.
These assessments are generally focused on academic curricula and are used to uncover children’s latent skills. Scholarships, medals, and merit certificates will be awarded to deserving students who demonstrate extraordinary abilities. As a result, they are encouraged and self-assured.
