Classmates can only compete among themselves. Sometimes they can help, but it's very rare. It is this rivalry that stimulates them to improve their knowledge. But teachers have more knowledge and they can more effectively teach.

Perhaps if you're in physical classroom. But if you look for example courses on edx or coursera, you can see that peers motivate each other (especially if there's facebook group or some kind of forum) and I didn't see a competition per se but pure encouragement and students helping each other.
