Should schools reward pupils for their academic feat? Or 

1.   Acknowledging learners for their feats in academic realms will inspire them to invest themselves more dedicatedly, and find studies more interesting. 

2.   This will act as an inducement for other learners and push them to compete for such rewards. 

3.   This could also be of a great help for the learners hailing from economically weaker sections to continue with their studies 

Should schools reward learners for achievements in other areas? 

1.   Every accomplishment should be recognised; that way achievements in other fields like sports, arts and good conduct also become worthy of appreciation. 

2.   These areas have a great contribution in defining and polishing the overall personality of growing individuals; thus, acknowledging success in these area will inspire young individuals to perform better in all areas  

 

There are disparate views when it comes to prioritizing different areas - academic and non-academic - for which many feel that rewarding learners can help greatly, but should this arrangement only facilitate those excel in academics, or should be for others areas too. 

 

Acknowledging achievements is an imperative practice in the contemporary educational arrangement. Many institutions follow the norm of rewarding those performing well in examinations, but many also suggest that these should be extended to those who excel in  various areas of co-curricular activities.  

 

A school of thought favors acknowledging academic attainments, for they believe that such an arrangement can act as a catalyst in encouraging recipients to work harder and try to  touch pinnacle in their area of study. Ones receiving awards for their academic feats tend to find their studies even more interesting. Many studies carried out in schools across the world corroborate this notion that rewards act as major stimulants for every student who strive to achieve higher and higher to become beneficiaries of such awards. 

 

Moreover, besides stimulating achievers, such an arrangement can also inspire other learners to attempt and become capable of achieving such accomplishments. In a way, as several educationalists suggest, the learning environment becomes competitive with everyone vying to outperform each other, reducing the  amount of efforts faculty and management have to invest in persuading pupils to study dedicatedly. 

 

Nevertheless, there is another view that is inclined towards recognizing feats in extra and co curricular endeavors besides the conduct. Formal tuition, in its current manifestation, is vested with the responsibility of fostering the overall personality of learners, and thus, it makes it imperative to grant recognition to those attaining excellent outcomes in domains like sports, art and exemplary behavior, to name a few.

In hindsight, after assessing both the sides of the coin, I can safely assert that formal tuition, having been made responsible for the all-round development of young individuals, should appreciate all attainments: be it academic or non-academic.
