According to dictionary competition is contest between individuals or groups. It arises when two competing parties strive for goal which cannot be shared.
As we know that if somebody get apart in competition without any preparation, would not helps to accomplish goal; because it requires time, knowledge, and learning skills. Though the competition gives motivation to get in hope of win but it doesn't create any learning environment. It just motivates those who are likely to win the competition. If we consider the result of competition that, how many competitors actually excel in the competition? It’s likely small number and most don't.
Competition creates many problems, it enforces learners to limit their performance and potential, diminishing there enjoyment of learning process, undermining their self-confidence and chance to discover importance of intrinsic motivation.
Well competition has place in business, sports and modern technology but not in learning process. As we all know that as natural human being we are thirsty for knowledge, we don't need to compete against someone else for the desire because it destroy the cooperative learning process, it destroy the spread of information, it enforces two groups to not share the information.
However it puts too much pressure on people and stress of, it could cause them to just give up. If they think there is no hope, everyone is passing them by.
So student should be allowed to learn but on their own pace to absorb the knowledge, not to just memorize it.
And competition is not killing only learning but it also kills innovation and creativity too. If the competition was necessary then children would never learn to talk and walk.
