Chapter 7: Officials of the Commonwealth

The Civil servant examination system is something that is used in many countries in the world, including the US and UK. The principle of this system, is that none elected and none executive government officials of a country, should be employed by passing an exam. This has currently proven to be the most effective employment method for such public servants.

Traditionally, people usually rely on experience and qualification, to determine the capability of a person. However, these are not the most accurate way to measure who is most qualify.

In terms of experience, true, some job requires a certain level of experience to perform and sometime, when a person got more experience that person become more qualify. But it is not always the case. Why? Take the concept of “practice make perfect” for example, some people, after practicing for only three times, become proficient, others, practice for ten times, and still not proficient. Thus, although having more experience, increase the chance of a person to be competent and a person with more experience is most likely to be better qualify, then another person with less experience, it is not necessary the case. But through examination, we can easily test, who is the most qualify candidate, it is more likely that the candidate with more experience is better qualify, but it might also turn out, the candidate with more experience is unqualify or the person with less experience is more qualify.

In terms of qualification. First, from studying in school, we learn, two students studying the same material taught by the same teacher, most likely, one student is going to do better than another that is why we need exam. In university, different students would be of different standard, despite taking the same class, taught by the same teacher, that is why, for each university subject, you get graded on a series of exam and/or assessments, to test your knowledge on the subject, you been taught in. But even after the grading, a problem is that, different University got different standard and marking criteria. For example, in Sydney University, you must include material outside those been taught in the subject, to get a mark, above credit, in Macquarie University, you need to demonstrate knowledge in materials outside the subject, within your assessment, to get a mark that is more then pass. In University of Technology Sydney, such requirement of demonstrate additional knowledge outside the subject, is unnecessary, to get any mark. Thus, once again, the best way to test who is the most qualify candidate, for the position, is through exam.

Like gun powder, printing press and magnetic compass, civil service examination system origin from China. The system was introduced between the year of 581AC~619AC. Despite ancient Chinese believe all men are equals, both King and peasants, prior to the introduction of civil servant examination, it is usually the nobles that have a chance to become senior government officials and officers in the army, ordinary peasants, only get to be lower ranking government officials and lower ranking soldiers, in the army. To ensure, the best people can get discover and promoted to the post, regardless of noble birth or born as peasants, the Chinese for the first time, introduce the concept of exam, to the world and then through exams, introduce the concept of civil servant examination system, by the 18^th century, this system was passed to the west, it was first adopted by the French, follow by the Americans and the British. This is due to, in the first 100 years of US history, civil service is known for its corruption and incompetent. In UK, with the introduction of constitution monarchy, the parliament seek to reduce the power of the nobles, wanting to let, the people who are best for the job, to hold the post, regardless of whether he is of noble or peasant birth.
