    "content": "Finally, it is also important to note that examinations are important because they compel students to learn. Compelling does not mean pushing. Compelling simply means giving the students the mind to think and see what is expected of them in society. Therefore, without examinations most students would not learn. They would know very little about the world. They would only do subjects in which they have interest and ignore the other subjects which are thought to be difficult though they are very important in the modern age. There are also some incentives that have come along with education. The introduction of Free Primary Education (FPE) in 2003 is a great achievement for this country. When the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government introduced the FPE, the enrolment shot up. As an appreciation to strengthen the Basic Education Act and to actualise the right to education, it is important that we develop this incentive that was started in 2003 and make sure we complete the cycle. This is because a person is deemed to have gained sufficient education when he has achieved basic education as per the Basic Education Act. Why should you go to school only to come out and be told to prove that you went to school and you are not able to simply because you did not appear for examination?"
