Every child is born with some inborn qualities. No one is perfect in this world, but we can always appreciate someone’s good behaviour and manners. An ideal student is one who is very humble and respectful towards their studies and respectful towards their elders. They must be loyal and trustworthy, which can be proved by their behaviour and attitude. Scoring higher marks is not something that matters in life. If you are a humble person and have a respectful attitude towards others, everyone will remember you for your entire life. An ideal student is attentive enough in class, dedicated to his or her studies, and always loved by the teachers. An ideal student motivates other children and maintains a positive atmosphere around them.

Understanding how to improve student retention in higher education starts with understanding what student retention is. Student retention in higher education refers to an institution’s ability to keep students enrolled and progressing successfully toward degree completion over time. It’s typically measured by tracking whether students continue from one academic period to the next—such as one semester to the next, or the first year to the second—and by monitoring their consistent progress toward graduation.

Retention is a critical metric because it reflects not only institutional effectiveness in supporting students academically, socially, and financially, but also impacts student outcomes—as those who drop out often face significant debt without the increased earning power that comes with a degree.
