ABSTRACT
The paper presents the contemporary modality of assessment practice, which created anxiety for the students and parents and affected the socio-psychological and socio-economic aspects of the students. The paper deals with the types of assessment practices by public schools for reform and transformation. Increasing the number of assessments in school increases test anxiety in students, parents, and schools, such as depression, pressure, and less creativity, indicating that transformation in exams is inevitable. The practice of assessing the negative consequences in society is comparing and competing against each other. Using the case analysis and in-depth interview data, the paper explored that assessment has created fear among children, parents, and teachers, and they negotiated the quality of education by focusing on exams and scores. The paper also provides some strategies to reform examination patterns in school. More examinations in school and focusing on the score lead to ranking the students based on performance. The cases are analyzed by referencing the capabilities approach.
