Competition in education has taken a new and more aggressive form, right from the school level to admissions in colleges. This article considers various aspects that make for the debate whether competition should be promoted in the field of education or not?
Yes, competition should be made necessary in the education process:
Education has a purpose to create excellent and responsible citizens and as mentioned, education is the key factor in achieving this. When the whole world is engaged in a competition to stay ahead and forward in the race for supreme dominance, nothing less than highly competitive levels of education will do.
Competitive structure of education will keep both the students and teachers motivated. Since teachers have the responsibility to give their optimum they will not only work hardbut also go out of their way to make sure that their students enjoy a clear advantage over their competitors.
The spirit of competition will prepare better and more competent classroom sessions with innovative and fresh ideas of teaching being devised in the pursuit of excellence, involving methodical planning of lessons, and adopting efficient, well-organized teaching strategies and tactics.
Students will become enthusiastic as they will have to prove their skills against the best talent from other institutions.

It depends on what motivates you to learn. It could be an intrinsic or extrinsic force.
You may want to do well for yourself naturally, but if you happen to see a friend out performing you, that could kickstart your competitive nature.
Lots of people are naturally competive, but there is such a thing as healthy competition and unhealthy competition. Don’t be the person that brings others down so that you can get ahead. Stepping on necks won’t get you anywhere.
Although the downside to intrinsic motivation, is whether or not you can encourage yourself to achieve your goals well enough.
My personal self-encouragement: “The only person I want to be better than, is the person I was before.”
That is usually enough for me to want to do well in life. However, for others it might not be that simple.
