This source, an excerpt from a blog post, argues that Nepal's education system needs a significant overhaul to prioritize a more holistic approach to learning, moving away from a heavy reliance on standardized tests. The author uses an engaging analogy of animals in a jungle to illustrate the detrimental effects of an overemphasis on exams, comparing standardized tests to a "tree-climbing competition" that forces students to prioritize specific skills and ignore their unique strengths. The author calls for a system that values diverse talents, encourages critical thinking, and empowers teachers to assess students more comprehensively. This shift would involve decentralizing educational governance, modernizing testing methods, and allowing for alternative pathways to learning. The author concludes by urging educators, parents, and students to work together to build a more harmonious and inclusive education system that fosters creativity and personal growth.
