Before we go any further, let us first ponder upon the benefits or the perks that a healthy competition provides -


    

  • Education has a purpose to create excellent and responsible citizens and as mentioned, education is the key factor in achieving this. When the whole world is engaged in a competition to stay ahead and forward in the race for supreme dominance, nothing less than highly competitive levels of education will do.
    • 

  • Competitive structure of education will keep both the students and teachers motivated. Since teachers have the responsibility to give their optimum they will not only work hard but also go out of their way to make sure that their students enjoy a clear advantage over their competitors.
    • 

  • The spirit of competition will prepare better and more competent classroom sessions with innovative and fresh ideas of teaching being devised in the pursuit of excellence, involving methodical planning of lessons, and adopting efficient, well-organized teaching strategies and tactics.
    • 

  • Students will become enthusiastic as they will have to prove their skills against the best talent from other institutions.

I beg to differ on the first point. It is filled with contradictions, if the purpose of education is to create "responsible citizen" how can it be achieved throgh process of competition, which focuses solely on the end goal. Leaving the means to achieve those end in hand of competitiors, and this in turn becomes a ground of unhealthy and unethical practices, which ultimately seep down to society.

Isn't it ironic we have to introduce a subject of "Moral Values" to do what education was inherently supposed to do. Doesn't it beg question where we went wrong? A critical analysis of the means and end as i mentioned, highlights the answer to some extent

Leading clinical psychologist case studies have shown that students were more afraid of exams and competitions than being afraid of accidents, earthquakes, bomb blasts! I don't think I can see positive effects here!

The right kind of competition will motivate the students into doing the best that they can by pushing each other to higher levels. When a student sees a prize at the end of the tunnel, it makes the race much more valuable.
