“Pupils at present look upon their school or college life as nothing but a preparation for university examinations”, writes Mr. Jogendranath Bhattacharya. “Their horizon is circumscribed as they have no higher aim than to pass examinations. When a certificate is the chief aim and end, any subject that does not lend itself to the test, becomes neglected. This oppressive system also affected the method of instruction. Teachers are only too careful to teach those things that will be set at the final examination. The number of passes being the goal, the spirit of enquiry in the pupil is smothered, cram lessons and ‘keys’ receive encouragement.”
“Teaching is being unduly subordinated to examination,” writes Mr. Akshoy Kumar Sarcar of Chittagong. “The teacher’s success depends upon the number of students he has made to pass. Some school authorities have taken teachers to task for failing to pass a high percentage of students. Students themselves say that they come not to learn but to pass the examination. Teachers also give way to this view very often. The guardians of students generally endorse this view.”
“The very large majority of the, schools I have seen in East Bengal,” writes Mr. J. W. Gunn, “are cram establishment pure and simple, where everything is subordinated to the immediate requirements of the Matriculation Exanlination.”
