Furthermore, such growth in the interest and activity has been greatly aided by computer implemented systems. As a result of this interest and the associated efforts, there exists a large array of frameworks, tools and practices for assessment of trainees, students and the like. Generally, these conventional education systems are operable to perform assessment of the people (such as the trainer, trainee) that are involved to impart trainings based on feedback and/or inputs provided or acquired from the people involved to impart trainings.

However, such conventional education systems encounter multiple technical problems. One such problem with the conventional education systems is that such system is dependent on the feedback and/or inputs of the people involved in trainings. As the feedback and/or inputs provided by the people are based on the sentiment, therefore, such feedback and/or inputs may not be absolute. Consequently, rendering such systems to be inappropriate for determining the productivity of the techniques and/or the people involved to impart trainings to the trainee. Furthermore, as the feedback and/or inputs are not absolute, therefore the system may not be efficient for enhancing skill -imparting strategies or system.
