Do away with Primary School Exams Entirely

Scandinavian education systems do not have examinations until students are in secondary school. And yet, there is no evidence of a lack in prowess or economic performance.

Furthermore, Scandinavians are among the most socially responsible people in the world. They are world-class citizens in all the fundamental aspects - some of which we still lack, for example, road manners.

While I applaud the Education Ministry's decision, it should adopt a bolder and more effective decision to do away with primary school examinations entirely.

This radical change will harvest us a reward of First World innovation and creativity.
