Nowadays an increasing trend is being noticed that younger people  as they cross schooling stage and join colleges, they often tend to lose interest in studies. Some people often wonder about the causes of this new phenomenon and wish to find a solution to this.

To start with, students cross the school stage at the age of 18 when they become adults and they do not have that many restrictions in universities, which makes them drift away from their primary objective. Moreover, As most of the time students happen to pass through a very complex and stressful stage of penultimate years of schooling where they have to dedicate more and more time in pursuing a good score. During this process they often go into a state of social disconnect and are confined to study tables only. So when they enter the liberal environment of the university, they try to compensate for the time they have lost in school. 

Nevertheless, overcoming this situation is not impossible since it is quite easy to encourage youngsters to keep in touch with their academic pursuits. Universities should arrange some regular workshops and set up initiatives - that can include some rewards and benefits - to persuade learners to bring out their academic excellence. This would prevent them from disconnecting from studies. Also, parents should intervene and encourage  their children to be more involved in studies. On top of that, varisities should also implement  the system of regular examinations and assessments that will compel pupils to commit themselves to their academic pursuits.  

Overall, I would like to conclude that although it is true that disenchantment from rigorous study routines  has its roots in hard work done in schools, it is possible to convince university learners to study with dedication.
