This is one of the huge flaws in education that is worth examining. Some other countries have recognised it, and place just as much premium on extracurricular activities, practical assignments, and several other means of testing students that are meant to complement being examined.
But in Ghana, we place too much premium on examinations, and very little value on anything else. It breeds ignorant graduates, who crammed as much temporary info into their minds as they could to pass exams- but have very real or practical knowledge of whatever course it is they are studying.
