No more student rankings after passing exams at the University of Cambridge! The university management decided to abandon the system of ranking students according to the level of their academic achievements. The administration believes that this will help students feel better in the learning process because they will not experience pressure and competition. The university plans to introduce a new approach to education from September this year.
By the way, the idea appeared for a reason, but based on the results of a commission check, which was requested by the students themselves. Surveys have shown that the university has a flourishing "culture of overload", which affects the psycho-emotional state of students. If for students ranking is a minus and a negative impact on health, then, from the point of view of teachers, competition helps to maintain the university's high performance on the world stage. After all, students in the race for knowledge and primacy among their fellow students contribute to the growth of the university in the rankings thanks to their achievements. Teachers are also convinced that without ranking students, their diplomas will no longer be so valuable and significant in the labor market, because the University of Cambridge is one of the two in the United Kingdom that supports student ratings, for which it is so appreciated by employers.
However, the desire of the university administration to take care of the health of students turned out to be stronger than the thirst for victories, so from September university students will not regularly receive mailings with ranked lists. But they will continue to be kept, so it will still be possible to find out your place in the list - you just need to make a personal request to employees.
