Competitiveness among high school students should be encouraged. Do you agree or disagree?

#competitiveness #school #students
These days, many schools are increasing competitions and exams to enhance educational and non-educational interest in their students. I agree with
this
 positive action for the pupil’s bright future. There are several reasons why being competent is so much important in school-age life for children.
Firstly
, it helps the student to develop their own personality. To elaborate it, competitions always demand from students for critical thinking, owning responsibility and guiding other colleagues to achieve the same goal.
For example
, a cricket match between two teams of school kids requires the attention of planning of allocating team members on the ground to save from the targeted runs.
In addition
, the match needs one leader to take the responsibility to manage his team accurately to win in the
competition
. All of these are beneficial parts in the development of their own personality in the pupils.
Secondly
, taking part in the
competition
 will increase the interest of students in the study or in any sports activity. Fortunately, sometimes
this
 deep digging involvement in a particular interest converted into their lifetime professionalism.
For instance
, to achieve the targeted goal in the exam, students require to research on a particular subject to score high.
This
 research sometimes makes pupil more curious about that particular subject and encourage them to do master in the same, and becoming professional
such
 as a wildlife photographer.
Lastly
, profit from
competition
 helps the student to cover their financial burden. At the end of any
competition
, there is always a prize for the winner. It might be in the form of a cash reward or a scholarship. Pupils from the poor financial family background can survive their educational expenses needs from it. In conclusion, conducting and encouraging students to take part in the
competition
 at the early age of school life can provide a great addition to their personal, professional and financial life.
