Does competition enhance the learning process?

Education no longer follows a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Most Universities use a blended approach in the learning process, including industry talks, field visits, career sessions and, yes, -- competitions. All these activities are driven by a single goal - to make students employable in the competitive world! To be successful at any job, the candidate must be equipped and ready to take on any challenge and preparation for that begins early. University life should be educational, exciting but above all, it must prepare students for what’s coming next – Competition! As Walt Disney states “I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.”
