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.
