Every student in his life faces failures in some parts of his academic
life. You, I and everyone out there had to go through some challenging
and toilsome times in their academic life to get to the final
destination.
What does Academic failure actually mean? Is it the dropping out of a student before graduation? Or is it the inability and lack of intelligence of a student to succeed or who slips farther behind his peers and gradually discrete from the educational system?
Well, the point of failure needs a bit of slight change. Academic failure in actual is, when one has the ability and intelligence to succeed but, are unable or unwilling to perform and apply these abilities in the educational setting.
“I have had the privilege of analyzing several thousand men and women, 98% of whom were classed as “failures.” There is something radically wrong with a civilization, and a system of education, which permit 98% of the people to go through life as failures.”
(Napoleon Hill, Book, Think Grow Rich; 1937)
Now here are a few causes of failures of students, some of which might be a failure cause of yours as well.
1) LACK OF MOTIVATION:
The foremost cause of failure is when a student does not even know that why does he even need to succeed! A student who does not receive any kind of motivation regarding his studies, his abilities, his future and his presence, will not succeed. He just studies with having no reason to study. He will have lack of commitment, lack of maturity, low inclination for effort, and lack of self-confidence. Studies would no longer be an important part of his life to focus on. Instead if he gets motivation from his family, peer, relatives, teachers or the people around him, he would be able to perform well with an ambition. So in short, (with an example,) it shows that you would never drink a glass of water unless you are not motivated from inside or feel thirsty enough to quench your thirst.
2) PEER RELATIONSHIPS:
The need to belong to a group and the need to be seen as unique is the dominant struggle of adolescence. There is a strong connection between peer relationships and academic achievement. It is obvious that if a child has great peer relationships he is more likely to achieve academic success. Everything about good peer relationships is positive which connects to future success.
High school students also might find themselves distracted by dating and partying, and studies can fall to the wayside.
3) INSTITUTE’S CULTURE:
Sometimes, the culture of the institute matters a lot in a student’s success. If the institute is of a higher level with co-education and is technologically advanced having mostly upper class students can be a huge problem for a government educated student who had studied from an Urdu medium school. He may be an intelligent and hard working student but his inability of moving with the culture around him can move him to failure. It relates to the Karl Marx’s theory of conflict about the capitalist and the working class.
