Examinations should encourage students to study and not become a reason to scare them, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said here today.
Addressing a seminar conducted by the examination branch of the Delhi government's education department, Sisodia, who also holds the Education portfolio, asked teachers that while setting question papers they should keep in mind that the remote control of education is with the examination system.
"The society's remote control lies with the education system which is with the examination system. What knowledge has to be imparted? How it should be done? What should be the motive and methodology? All these factors are driven by the examination system only and those setting up question papers should keep these factors in mind," he said.
