Do you think we should give monetary incentives to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better grades?

Hello again dear followers. I bet sure lots of you are already at home right now having your holiday?? For this post, we would like to discuss from the topic given, "Do you think we should give monetary incentives to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better result grades"

         
Studying has been getting hard every day. Most of the time studying will get a student getting board weather in classes or study time. So, that is why a lot of student are failing in subjects they were taken. This thing rather happened in school and mostly would happen when they are in university. When they fail, they got to repeat the subject. On the other hand, failing subjects in university will affect their cumulative grade pointer average or CGPA. With a lower CGPA it is affecting their education loan and pocket money. This will give more burdens to the students for having money problems while facing with study problem. Should they be given monetary incentives to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better grades? 

In our opinion, there are good and bad by giving money to motivate the KP2 students to get better grades in their study. Meanwhile, money itself is important as it should be depending on what way it is used. If the KP2 students used the money to buy reference books, this will sure help them in study. But, if it is vice versa, than there are no benefits come from that money. Let’s look on the good site of giving money to students. A psychologist test showing that a person is getting motivated and inspired when they were given a token or gift. In this case, by giving monetary incentives, they are surely exited and would strive hard to achieve it. 

Moreover, not all the students are brilliant to achieve great result. Some are a slow learner and need incentives practise to overcome their weaknesses. So with another chance given, they will prove themselves that they are good. Some of the student probably achieved good pointer after given another chance. To achieve a great CGPA, the KP2 student needs a hard work done in the fourteen week of study time. They would probably have a moral down issue after getting such result. By giving them the intensive money should give them a kick start to achieve better result in the future. 

But, there are also negative views of giving the monetary incentives to the KP2 students. Eventhough they achieved good result, they achieved it because of the prize given. In the end, they did not learn anything from the class they attend. Besides the attitude of the student that should affect their score in study. If they were being motivated with money, soon they only did things and work for money. They could even try bribes. These will create bad culture within citizens.

Giving them money incentives also could lead these students to enjoy with the money they get. As stated in the first paragraph, KP2 student does not receive any pocket money or tuition fees from the lender. On the other hand, they can recover back their money as soon as they get better result for the coming semester. If the universities intend to give them money even for a hundred ringgit, they would use it for enjoyment. Living live as students sure got a lot of challenge to be face. But not all of them are capable to live life they want. 

As for conclusion, giving the KP2 student monetary incentives give both the good and bad views. But the most important things to get the KP2 students having a better result is by teaching them the attitude to study. Only then they would understand the important of study and the benefits they get for the future. Besides, experience is the best teacher where they learn their weakness in study and how to overcome it by studying SMART and HARD and not by getting money.
