Exam stress isn’t new, affecting individuals across generations. However, the recent rise in student stress and mental health concerns necessitates immediate action.
Understanding the Root Causes:
External and Internal Pressure: Parental, societal, and self-imposed expectations can create overwhelming pressure to achieve exceptional results.
Lack of Preparation: Inadequate preparation, including insufficient study time, procrastination, and poor sleep, can lead to last-minute panic and anxiety.
Ineffective Study Habits: Poor comprehension and disorganized study strategies can contribute significantly to stress.
Combating Exam Stress Together:
Addressing exam stress demands a collaborative effort from families, schools, and society. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness of this issue, with positive initiatives emerging from various stakeholders including the government.
