Example-5: Education

After social causes and socialization, let us look at an example all of us might have gone through. Education was one field where complacency was prominent and evident and we being literates, thought was a good example to quote.

So firstly talking about the school level. We might have seen complacency of parents not wanting to change schools of their children. This is in spite on reported reviews by the child about the school not being good. May be parents don’t want to get involved into the hassles of admission procedures at other schools. Also they would have to develop relationship with teachers and think it would be tough for the child to adjust in a new environment. In this case, quality of education gained by children is affected by complacency of parents. May be, after certain age, even a child’s complacency might lead to a compromise.

Board exams are very significant for all students. Once a student passes them and gets into a decent college he gets complacent. Feels college is for fun and he has done his part by making it through. Same think might be visible amongst students here at IIMK. Its only about getting into an esteemed institution for some. This complacency exhibited by students may adversely affect the quality of students that pass out of the institution. Also the quality of work will suffer at the organization they work in.

And leave only students, their complacency can affect many more batches to come in an organization. The laid-back attitude and complacency leads to them not giving proper feedback about the teachings of professors. This might affect the quality of education imparted to future batches. [The professors can be viewed as products and institution as the company offering the product. Students are the customers. If customers don’t give proper feedback about the product, the company will never know what changes to make in the product.]
