ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Graduating from high school allows students to earn far more, and many employers only hire those who graduated. As a result, academic achievement helps students avoid poverty. College education provides even more benefits, and employers are increasingly looking for employees with college degrees even in unrelated fields.

Academic achievement also allows students to enter competitive fields. Those who wish to enter the medical field need a thorough educational background in biology, and engineering certification requires adequate educational credentials. Those looking to enter academia need strong academic achievements.

Academic achievement also helps shape the minds of students. Knowledge about history helps people interpret news events while mathematical knowledge helps people learn about mortgages and car loans. Critical thinking also helps people interpret the world around them, and colleges place an emphasis on teaching students how to work through problems. While the lessons learned in class give students specific skills, the process by which they learn this material and the original ideas they are asked to consider have an effect on many aspects of their lives as well.
