Leisure Time vs Hard Studies

In some countries young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to work hard in their studies.
What do you think are the causes of this?
What solutions can you suggest?


Sometimes many young people find very little leisure time for recreation and have to do lot of hard work in their studies. There can be many reasons for this including heaving competition in schools/universities, parental pressure, maintaining social standards, financial conditions.

Every parent wants their child be successful in their life. Some of them has decided what their child will become in future for example engineer, doctor. In many countries, where the economic condition is not very good, people want their child to do what they were not able to do in their life. So they start pressuring their child to study hard to achieve the same. Even in my country, kids have to go for three to four hours of private tuitions after the regular six hours of schools. As a consequences, they have very little leisure time to go for sports and other recreational activities.

Second reason is our higher education system. In todays competitive environment, a child has to put lot of extra effort to compete with others to survive. Due to increasing population, specially in Asian countries, there are thousands of young people competing for little number of seats in good universities. This puts lot of pressure on teenagers to put long hours of studies to get even a single chance of success.

One solution of the problem is that the parents have to understand the abilities and interest of their child and support them to follow their dreams rather than imposing their own will. The schools should inform the parents about their children's' interests and ask them to give their child a stress-less environment of growth.

Other solution is to improvise the curriculum of the schools/universities to include latest technologies. So that the kids don't have to put extra efforts to learn new things to beat the competitions along with good grades. The schools should also promote sports, arts based on the interest of the kids.

In conclusion, only studies will not help in the overall growth of the individual. To compete in the society they have to be smart, energetic and free.
