EdPlace
Education is not complete without examination. Although most people have an unhealthy fear of examinations, the truth is that it is the only way to test the understanding of students about specific subjects and whether they are ready to proceed to the next stage or not. However, there are some peculiar challenges that make leaning an individual an independent journey. For instance, the level of comprehension might vary per child, while the analytic or manipulation skills of a child/student might be superior or otherwise when compared to peers. This should not, however, be a problem, with the solution being the development of teaching and learning modules that accommodate different levels of understanding. Unfortunately, this might be easier said than done, and the truth is that most students still have to go through a form of standardized tests before they can proceed. What’s more? There are challenges that impede regular learning like dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, etc. that might also not be diagnosed on time. These learning challenges may create negative perceptions about studying and exams in the minds of the student that might have far-reaching impacts. Fortunately, there seems to be an increase in the awareness levels of learning challenges and conditions in the past few decades. EdPlace is an education-oriented company that provides resources to help students prepare for examinations, irrespective of their learning challenges.
