Getting GPA 5 shouldn't be an end in itself

This year the pass rate of SSC exam is about 93 percent which is 3 percent higher than the previous year. All are happy with the result particularly the education minister and PM.
Today in our country the goal of education is not earning knowledge but scoring GPA 5. Many of us know that teachers nowadays are being instructed to give excessive marks. And the recent phenomenon of question paper leakage has made the situation worse. Students know how to get question papers before the exam! So why should they study hard? I sometimes get very much depressed by the overall situation. God knows what is waiting for us in the future.
