EQ or IQ? Which is more important for a student?
Modern-day parents are more conscious about their child's rank and percentages in his / her studies. The amount of pressure they are exerting on their children for this is tremendous and many children are not able to withstand the pressure. The present-day education system may be increasing the IQ of a student but not helping in any way to increase their EQ.IQ is related to intellectual pursuits like understanding and applying information through skill sets. EQ refers to the ability of a person in perceiving and controlling their emotions. EQ will increase by
good qualities like sharing, cooperation, help, assistance, thinking about and empathising with others.
In my opinion, both are equally important and parents and teachers should concentrate on both and see that the student will improve their EQ also over a period of time.
