Many students find it difficult to concentrate or pay attention in school. What are the reasons? What could be done to solve this problem?

Recently, many tutorials have been posted on the Internet about how to improve concentration.

School

is among the places where

this

issue is most relevant, as many

students

complain about how laborious it is to pay

attention

in class.

This

essay will discuss some reasons why

this

is the case as well as suggest several corresponding solutions. One reason many pupils struggle to concentrate during lectures is a lack of interest in the content being taught. Without taking a liking to what one is learning,

attention

will not come naturally and has to be forced.

For example

,

students

are required to study six to eight

subjects

in the IB program, but it is unlikely that any of them is enthusiastic about every subject. To address

this

issue, schools should eliminate compulsory

subjects

and allow more flexibility in the subject-selecting process. Allowing the

students

to select

subjects

in line with their passions will significantly remove fiction during the learning process and increase concentration.

This

has been done in many high schools with great success: the more

subjects

a

school

offers, the more engaged the

students

are. Another reason

school

attendees find it hard to focus on coursework is comprised of mental illnesses. Increasingly common clinical conditions

such

as depression, anxiety, and ADHD all result in restlessness and difficulties concentrating.

For instance

, many diagnosed patients report being unable to focus on a task even for five minutes.

Therefore

, all schools should be equipped with a team of counselling psychologists so that

students

in need of psychological care can be identified and treated in time. Research has shown that early treatment and healthy coping mechanisms,

such

as journaling and meditation, are effective against chronic mental ailments.

This

assistance in turn will help them pay

attention

in class. In conclusion, causes leading to many pupils finding it hard to pay

attention

at

school

include the absence of interest toward the subject and untreated mental illnesses. To counter these problems, more flexibility should be introduced into the curriculum, and mental healthcare should be made more available in educational settings.
