My high school’s final exams were abolished over five years ago, leaving just one session of mid-year exams. This was done for many reasons, one of which was pressure by teachers who said that they could give final exams if they felt like it, or papers, or presentations, or nothing special. Teachers did not like the idea of a week (or whatever) taken from the teaching curriculum for exams.
