I wish this age of schorlar education is over, where everything about education will be based on competencies. Under normal circumstance, not everyone can excell higher when everything concerning our education system is paper writing exams.
I don't know for other developed and developing countries but here in my country exams writing is more or less a do or die affair.

You either struggle hard and pass or resitting will become a habit of time.

I have encountered many occasions where students either pass out during exams or they either seek permit to quit taking the paper.
Imagine the great joy every student will express if all resources are in place and you have the choice to choose what suits you best based on profession building than learning Billions of stuffs at the end you will need just one. #OMG

motivated by my exams period, very hectic.
