In a study conducted by the Cambridge University, it was found that the exams taken at the age of seven and 11 had caused anxiety among children and distorted the curriculum, reports Telegraph.
The study also claimed that outside school the life was 'insecure and in many areas dangerous' as concerns grow over family breakdown, resulting in a rise in gun and knife crime, materialism and the cult of celebrity.
The study interviewed 750 children, parents, teachers and governors as part of two-year study.
The analysis revealed that the children interviewed admitted that they felt anxious about national tests.
While some students in affluent areas confessed that doing well was important to "get us into private schools".
