No i think is not necessary. The subject we learned in high school is seldom used when we are out to work in the society. it is something like use one time and throw away.. agree???

Even if you don't use something what you learned, that is from where all the rest are build up on. We have learned mathematics that helps in our daily life. Some things we learned in physics,chemistry or biology helps as in some cases. If these was not teached in schools how will new invention happen...all scientists aor what ever they may be started their learning from schools... A acter may not be using the physics he learned in school but he may be using the greatest dramas which he learned. A camera men will be using the basic principles of light even without his/her knowing..

I have same opinion like you itgalary. If the subject was not useful at all, then it will not being taught at the first place. Decision to put syllabus in any level of education is not being made by a single person or two. Then the syllabus is good enough to be implement. Those who are saying that never realize the importants of knowledge in future life.

Its necessary to have Exams. There should be some way to assess people. One of the mechanism for that is Exams. But that doesn't mean Exams is the ideal one and it will show up the best, but since we don't have any other alternative way we have to stick on to Exams... Finding the best amoung a group is present in all living beings... Animals do make big fight to find the best and these is the common law of nature..and Human's way is not just fight because human is superior for his brain than muscles.. So as one way to check such aspects is Exams...

exams are necessary to build up healthy compettition amongst students and to test their learning capacities. it is a filter process where the best students could be differentiated from the average and worst ones.
