It is quite alarming how students keep performing very
poorly at examinations. The situation has remained virtually the same from year
to year. Identifying the major cause is a positive step in the right direction.
The following are the prominent reasons:
1.
Poor study habits: it is sad to observe that
most students basically lack reading culture. Instead they spend their valuable
time on valueless activities. Some watch season films and movies late into the night. These
individuals make last minute preparation for their examination.
2.
Anticipated involvement in examination
malpractice. A lot of students who are aware of the usual assistance during
examination often do not see any reason to prepare or study. This is the trend
in most schools. As a result, they are relaxed and easy-going.
3.
Poor spelling skills: Because of the prevalent social media
platforms many students stick to the use of unconventional spelling and
language. Consider these examples: night is replaced with nite, your is
replaced with ur, today is replaced with 2day, etc. This behavior creep in
during examination. Unfortunately this is not tolerated especially in English
language where adhering to the highest
linguistic standard is of great importance.
