Alcohol will negatively affect a student’s ability to perform well on written exam
The project describes the negative impacts of alcohol on written exams that students take in their studies. It aims at helping vulnerable students to avoid taking alcohol while still in school. The project sites various examples and the ways that students experience these aspects negativity from alcohol. The commencement of the project will be exactly two months after official approval of the appraisal. It will then run for three months in both district and national schools. The project will compare how sober and drunk students take their respective written exams in both these schools (Katsigris & Chris 57).
During the undertaking of this project, the researchers will visit the mentioned schools in an attempt to determine these negative impacts. Later in the end of the project, the project will introduce professional counselors to help the alcoholic students. The counseling processes are likely to take more than two months because of diversity in the duration of effective counseling sessions. For example, students with intense addictions to alcohol will require more time than those who have just started alcoholic behavior (Daniels 1).
The budget of the project will be as follows

| RESEARCH | 250 |
| TRANSPORT | 50 |
| EXTRA PERSONNEL IN RESEARCH | 20 |
| PURCHASE OF RESEARCH MATERIAL | 80 |
| CONSELLORS | 80 |
Potential Value of the Research
This research is of significant values to several people in the department of education. It does not offer help to students alone because its chief purpose is to improve performance in class. The chief focus of this research is to advise sites to shun alcoholism because it affects their performance on written exams. It will also be valuable to teachers since it will help them to determine causes of poor performance in written exams (Katsigris & Chris 59).
Students need maximum levels of concentration for them to excel in their respective subjects. Alcohol has a negative impact on student excellence since the content in alcohol interferes with the ability of the students to concentrate. Alcohol has the following negativity on students from diverse levels of learning (Gifford 27).
Other people who will find the project insightful include parents and academic officers. The project will discourage parents from exposing their schoolchildren to any alcoholic substances. It will also enable academic officers to design suitable academic programs. The design will ensure that students have minimal time alone and in turn discourage them from taking g alcohol. Future researchers will find this project significant if they will wish to expand on the topic of alcoholism in schools (Manzardo 24).

BENEFIT OF RESEARCH TO NON-STUDENTS
Negative Impacts of Alcoholism
- Addiction
First, alcohol has several possibilities of creating addictions in the students who take it any form. The addictions will pose a negative challenge on the performance of students. For example, addiction will encourage students want to take alcohol. This means that these students will not be sober for his or her studies. According to Daniels (70), alcohol addictions can cause serious withdrawal symptoms for people whose bodies get used to alcohol. The absence of sobriety challenges the ability of these students to sit for written exams.
- Quick Spread To Peers
Students who access alcohol are likely to share the alcohol with their classmates. This spreads a negative trend in the respective classes. The spread worsens because it allows students to keep sharing the alcohol. These students are also likely to miss their respective classes, this s because the students will have to treat hangovers instead of attending classes. Skipping classes is adequate reason for failing the written exams for these students (Griffin 1).
- Intoxications
The content in alcohol has several intoxicating effects. The intoxication interferes with the student’s coordination when they perform diverse actions. This means that the students who take alcohol will not even hold their pens during the written exams. They will also not be able to read the instructions to these written exams because of the intoxications that they will get from alcohol. Any attempt to continue with such drinking habits will produce permanent defects of the stability of the students (Manzardo 89).
- Waste Of Study Time
The treatment of students who become alcoholic takes several months. This suggests that students will waste time on treatment instead of revising for these written exams. After their discharge from rehabilitation facilities, there are several possibilities that these students will face stigma from their classmates. This is negative for their written exams because the stigma will discourage them from concentrating in their classes (Katsigris & Chris 46).
Compromise Of Intellectual Ability
Students who manage to sit for these written exams after their incidences with alcohol can never perform as perfect as they would have without alcoholic influence. This suggests that alcohol compromises the general abilities of students to sit for their written exams. Students could be through with drinking, but still feel guilty that they were victims of alcoholic abuse. These guilty feelings translate to extremely poor grades for students before they take their written exams (Daniels 78).
