Take the education system in China as an example. Is there any absolute fairness in education? I think the answer is no. Society in China combines urban and rural areas. As the income gap between urban and rural residents continues to widen, there is a large gap in people’s living standards and even education levels. A series of unfair phenomena have also appeared in education.

For example,

1. The government’s investment in education is different which is larger in cities, so it can attract more teachers with rich teaching experience.

2. More urban residents have the awareness of lifelong learning, but rural ones don’t have it.

3. During the exam, cheating often occurs because of the students’ competitive spirit.

As individuals or schools, in order to make education fairer, many people start to adopt online exam system. The reasons are as follows:

1. Teachers can upload courseware and test questions in advance, and students can participate in the class of high-quality teachers anytime and anywhere by logging in to the system.

2. Many people stop learning after leaving school, but individuals can participate in study and examination through the online examination system, and they can learn the course that suits them even if they have left school.

3. The powerful anti-cheating functions of the online exam system, such as full screen test and the anti-cut screen, ensure the fairness of the examination.

Online exam system, the combination of computer and internet technology, makes people learn the knowledge from different areas.
