Growing Competition In The Educational World. Is It Fair For All?

Education has always been considered the path to a successful career. To meet the ever-increasing demands and luxuries of life education is very important. Education and competition go hand in hand. But is the competition fair for all? Well in many cases the answer is no. With the exceptional increase in the world's population, providing education is becoming a challenging job for the ruling body of the country. Every year the number of students is increasing at a much faster pace than the number of teachers which is why the attention which is supposed to be reserved for one student is being distributed to a minimum of three to four students. Moreover, no two students are alike and therefore the same tests won't help everyone. There was a famous image that went viral where a teacher tells a bird, elephant, duck, and a turtle to climb a tree. Our current education system is similar to that. Some people are visual learners, some need simpler terms, and some need a more challenging idea. The educational opportunities will be more justified if it conforms to the needs of all the kids. Not just this, the education provided to the students is based on cramming and mugging up the textbooks rather than practically applied knowledge. Marks matter more than knowledge. At the best time of their childhood, students have little freedom than common prisoners. They are yelled at for not learning something they don't want to in the first place. Pupils receive extra attention through tuition. After the seven-hour class students rush to their tuition classes and after a long day they return to their house. How can this be called fair when the student doesn't get a chance to enjoy the best part of their lives.

Once the student moves out of the school life then begins the rush for a good college. The competition is amongst very different kind of learners from the ones who learn it slow to the ones who are born prodigies. The government and the teachers need to understand the perspective of young students and provide everyone an equal, meaningful and effective system of education that caters to the needs of the future generations. Increased opportunities will never produce equal outcomes because individual talents and the capacity for hard work vary too much. But worthwhile initiatives might alter the current pattern. The race for a luxurious lifestyle must not hamper the mental health of a child in the first place. Students must be given a chance to decide for their own selves, from what they want to do and which career they want to pursue an education in. This would certainly strike a major blow for fairness.
