Competition is a factor ineducation. On a global scale, national education systems, intending tobring out the best in the next generation, encourage competitiveness among students by scholarships.Countries like Singapore and England have a special education program which caters to special students,promting charges of academic elitism. Upon receipt of their academic results, students tend to compare theirgrades to see who is better. For servere cases, the pressure to perfrom in some countries is so high that itresults in stigmatization of intellectually deficient students or even suicide as consequence of failing theexams, Japan being a prime example. This has resulted in critical revaluation of examinations as a whole byeducationists. Critics of competition as opposed to excellence as a motivating factor in education systems,such as Alfie Kohn, assert that competition actually has a net negative influence on the achivement levels ofstudents and that it “turns all of us into losers.”Competitions also make up a large proponent of extracurricular activities that students partake in.
