immerse education essay competition 2023 results

Immerse Education Essay Winner

February 1, 2022.

Praanjal Singh Sinver, a student of Grade 9, brought laurels to our school by winning a 20% scholarship for summer programs at Oxford, Cambridge and LSE through the Immerse Education Essay Competition.

The Immerse Education Essay Competition provides students aged between 13 and 18 with the opportunity to submit essays related to their chosen subject. Praanjal presented her essay on ‘Female Future Leaders’ where she expressed her thoughts on the challenges faced by today’s women in leadership roles.

Praanjal’s essay stood out amongst the other entries by bringing forward well formulated and clearly expressed thoughts on her chosen subject. We are proud of your achievement, Praanjal. Best of luck for all future endeavours!

SUBJECT: Female Future Leaders

TOPIC: What are the challenges faced by  today’s women in leadership roles?

For centuries, the woman has been relegated to posts such as being a ‘housewife’, a ‘caretaker’ of the  family and she has never been treated as somebody in the field of action in the real world, where she  does the same laborious jobs as males and gets the due credit. But, over the years evolution happened,  societies became broad-minded and today women are gaining prominence in the world of leadership,  such as entrepreneurship, political leadership, sports team leader etc.

When we move forward with the times, gender discrimination has not left the society, which prevails  to be one of the most pressing challenges faced by women today in leadership roles, women have been  in leadership positions for a long time but they are yet to get their due credit, male employees believe  that women lack the “authority” or the “assertiveness” to take on an extremely important responsibility;  certain studies show that the people from all countries are still not quite comfortable with women  leading and they choose to spread hate and defame them, with the simple reason being that sexism and  male chauvinism brought this out of them. These reasons are at the basis of the issues that have arisen  for female leaders, and while many are aware that they are biased, they refuse to acknowledge  it. Another problem that arises for women leaders is the management of many roles. Women are more  likely than men to leave their jobs to raise families; It shouldn’t be a choice between a child and a career; it is difficult for a woman to reclaim power and influence as a leader once she has been out of the  workforce for a spell.

According to a recent study, even in countries with lengthy histories of female leadership much of the  public remains adamantly opposed to the idea of women in power. The Reykjavik Index 1 measures female leadership views of the G7 countries and others during 2020 to 2021, the survey had Its recent  poll consisting of over 20,000 adults and yielded some unexpected and disappointing results; the survey  revealed that only 38% of the people were open to the idea of having a woman as the head of a  government or the CEO of a company. Despite Angela Merkel’s long tenure as a chancellor, only 41%  of Germans indicated they felt comfortable having a woman at the helm of government. Maia Sandu  made history by becoming Moldova’s first female president, Kamala Harris became the first woman  Vice President of USA; though they reached their dream positions they were no exception and had gone  through the immense struggle.

Despite the reality that these circumstances will persist and torment, women must be applauded for their  indomitable spirit to prove themselves in different roles, our past culture has a significant impact on our  present societal values, there is a gradual change in men’s perception of women and I am sure gender  disparity will fade away soon and many more miracles can be experienced by women.

Immerse Education opens 2023 essay competition

One of the best ways to find out if a subject is a good match for a student is for them to have the experience of studying it at university level.

A short-term academic experience which takes place in the summer holidays gives students a taste for higher education and creates the motivation to pursue the specialism that interests them.

This week, Immerse Education has begun accepting entries for their bi-annual Essay Competition - with applications open for students across the globe from ages 13 to 18.

For those not familiar with Immerse Education’s programmes, these two-week courses give students the opportunity to live in world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, London or Sydney. Participants are taught their chosen subject by expert academics who teach and tutor current Oxbridge students.

Participants experience a fantastic array of social and cultural activities and excursions including formal dining in the great university halls, and a visit to London to explore the big city.Classes include practical, subject-specific workshops such as moot courts in law, exploring start-ups with business management, and an exploration of surgery through the ages for medicine students.

The essay competition enables students to explore their chosen subject through the creation of an academic essay that answers the essay question set by Immerse Education. Essays are a maximum of 500 words, with a 10% threshold so students should make sure their academic writing is concise, answering the question set in a creative, interesting and academically insightful manner.

There are a wide variety of subjects available for students to write about, and Immerse allows for students to interpret the question as they see fit - you can find out more about the subjects Immerse offers by heading to their website.

Although essay-writing is not every student's first choice when they have free time, essay-writing is the perfect way to showcase that students are passionate about their chosen subject, with many students using their essay as evidence to support their university applications.

Not only does essay-writing provide students with a taste of what university will be like, the competition prize is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Winners of the Immerse Education Essay Competition will be awarded a 100% fully-funded scholarship to attend one of the Immerse Education academic summer programmes, with runners-up being awarded up to a 70% scholarship.

The Immerse summer programmes run in July and August every summer for Oxford, Cambridge and London, and in January for Australia. Subjects include Engineering, Computer Science, Coding, Mathematics, Medicine as an Academic Insights programme as well as a Career Insights programme.

What makes a good role model in business?

A role model can mean different things to different people however a widely accepted term is a person who someone admires and whose behaviour they may imitate(1). To be a good role model in business, one should be responsible, ethical, and possess good judgement. These admirable characteristics are a necessity in order to ensure that those under the influence of a person will emulate those qualities, instead of ones that could be viewed as harmful, such as selfishness or unreliability. Moreover, in business, adopting unethical practises and poor judgement can lead to dire consequences. Some repercussions can include legal issues, loss of your company or an inadequate reputation.

Being ethical is one of the most fundamental attributes of a role model, particularly in a business environment. Unethical business practices are anything that falls below minimum standards for business code of conduct (2) and some examples can include defamation, harmful habits,, false product claims and discrimination. The gender pay gap is one controversial case of unethical business practice; in 2020 it was reported that from 2019 to 2020, there was a mean wage gap of 6.5% and a median of 15.9% between men and women (3). Difference in salaries is just one method of discrimination. Fortunately, in a further progressing society, prejudice is being viewed as what it is : unethical. It is crucial for a role model in business to be ethical as aspiring entrepreneurs may believe certain practices to be acceptable which produces a generation of corrupt business people. Another quality of a successful role model is responsibility. To be responsible is to be accountable for one’s behaviour or action (4). Part of human nature is to make mistakes and although this may be inevitable, our actions subsequently are ultimately our decision. Whether we accept responsibility or place blame on other individuals can define our character to those around us. When one acknowledges their errors, it encourages those who associate with them to do the same and also makes adopting solutions uncomplicated. On the other hand, confessing to one faults can make one seem incompetent; however disclosing your short-comings not only assists you in learning from them, but also those who consider you a role model. Having good judgement is an essential aspect of being an influential role model. A person’s reputation can rely heavily on the decisions that affect a business. Kay Whitmore (former CEO of Kodak) unfortunately lacked this attribute when he failed to adapt to an evolving reality. His poor judgement cost him his position when he was eventually fired from his own company in 1993 (5). In contrast, Elon Musk shaped his career through a series of intelligent choices. One of his most prominent companies (Tesla), is believed to be defining a new era with its electric cars (6). They adapted to the world’s concern of climate change and have created one of the most sustainable cars (7) which not only is environmentally friendly but also motivates customers to buy from them. The difference between whether one’s judgement is poor or not, can change your or your company’s reputation. In summary, to be a good role model in business, one should possess qualities of responsibility, morality and be able to make decisions that help your company evolve. Only then can the next generation of entrepreneurs truly thrive.
