Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school

"Talent can't be taught but it can be awakened".

There are more than 50 lakhs of students presently studying in school. And yes every child has his unique ability. To find these hidden talents in these children, the extracurricular activities should be made compulsory. There might be jitters for the participants at early stages, but as they realise the field in which they excel in they shall be more confident in their other avenues of the life.

Let's take China, for example, a country with 1.3 Billion people has 70 medals and India with 1.2 Billion people has only 2 medals in Olympics-2016. Does that mean Indians aren't as good as Chinese, Of course not? The problem here lies in the Talent acquisition. Extracurriculars aren't as encouraged as academics in India.

Let it be Music, Sports, Art. A child has his own unique ability and to find this talent, Extracurriculars should be encouraged in at least early stages of Schooling. Also, the government should allocate more resources to encourage such hidden talents.

Yes, extracurricular activities are very much needed in school as well as in our society. Through this, children will get to know about their interest, about the platform for which they are made. Someone is good in sport but he chooses B.Tech as his career which is not his cup of tea. He chooses B.Tech because he is not sure about his own interest, but if he was involved in an extracurricular activity in his childhood then he must choose sport as his career. By this example, I think it is clear that how much children needs extracurricular activity in the school.

Hello,

According to my opinion, 'YES'. Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school by which the hidden and unnoticed talent of student can come out and if it happens in school then students can get the idea that in which field they are actually interested and good enough to concentrate on their future. If its not made in school and someday if students get to know about their interest and talent in extra curricular activities when they are already entered in any other field then its of no use. So its better to give the chance to the students before the time takes a chance. Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school.

Yes, extra curricular activities should be made compulsory as we all are aware of the competition in every field. For that our confident attitude plays a very important role and all this comes from such activities. These are not only preparing you for facing stage fears but also brings a leadership and teamwork quality so that later you will be able to work and coordinate with team, so if students will get such activities earlier, they can later on make themselves capable of working in such environment where we have to work in coordination.

Hello everyone, In my point of view, I think that extra curricular activity is very much needed for all the students. It can give pleasure to the students during his regular study pressure. Student's internal talent would be expressed by the extracurricular activities, someone can sing or dance or draw or can play sports very well. Their such talents will be expressed only in this section in school. It will also help them to be social and extrovert. So I think that it will be better if there is an another optional section of extra curricular activities. Then the students who are interested in participating in this section, will easily get the opportunity to express himself in that platform. But if it will be compulsory, then it will become an extra burden on the students, who are not interested in extracurricular activities or who are very serious for their exams. As a result instead of being pleasured by this, they will be pressurized by this. Then it may affect their studies and mental health. So I think it should make optional in school, not compulsory, as only the interested students gladly can take part in this section when they are free from their studies. Only then they can continue their extra curricular activities as well as their studies.

Thank you.

Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in school. In modern time, competition is very tough & normally, schools operate 7-9 hours a day. In such time, if the child will not come in contact with extracurricular activities then he/she will become a part of monotonous and stressful life. Although, extracurricular activities make our body fit and healthy. And healthy mind resides in the healthy body. Students who take part in extracurricular activities, perform very well in studies.

Hello, everyone!

I am writing for the motion, i.e., extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in schools, reasons been-.

Health- It is very well known that 'healthy mind resides in a healthy body', extracurricular activities helps us to remain healthy and fit.

Team Work- Many extracurricular activities involve working in teams, and thus teaches the importance of teamwork, leadership and makes us capable of working in teams. Thus, they help us to become extrovert and also strengths the bond that we share with other classmates.

Stress Removal- Most of the schools operate nearly for around 7-9 hours, a student has to continuously study for around 6. 5-8. 5 hours (30 minutes of lunch break), so having a period of extracurricular activities may result very helpful for the students, who are fed up with continuous hours of study.

Helps to find your true talent- Most of the students don't really know what they are good at, and may not perform well in studies, so having extracurricular activity, may help to find their true talent, which them self were not aware of, hey may not be good in studies but may be better in music or dance or painting or playing etc.

Thus, to lead a balanced life, healthy and enjoyable life, I do think that extra-curricular activities should be made compulsory.

I think the extracurricular activities are compulsory for students because students need some rest from studies.

Hello friends,

As our Group Discussion topic is Extra curricular activities should be compulsory in school.

I would like to say that extra curricular activities must be compulsory in school.

First of all I would like to introduce what is the meaning of extra curricular activities.

Anything that is apart from our school education like learning a new language, learning computer, self-development programme etc.

Now let me tell you the merits of this kind of programme.

The merits of this kind of programme is so much. Apart from our education system the students get knowledge of some other fields which is really benificial.

When a students reach to college they face many problems as in many schools there is not good education system. Those schools are unable to growth the children mind. As we know the way you will shape your mind in childhood it will effect you adulthood.

So if schools will start providing this kind of extra education to the students then it will be benificial to the students.

Yes, definitely. Extra curricular activities not only helps in developing our personality but they also help us in becoming extrovert. Students involved in carricular activities are comparatively happier and less likely to commit suicides. Generally carricular activities include activities apart from education such as being part of sports, involved in philanthropic work etc. People have greater chances of interacting with other work age groups which reduces anti social behaviour.

It was also found in a study that people who are not doing any extra carricular activities are more shy, introvert and they avoid coming first publicly. Thus for overall develoment of any human being he or she must be encouraged to partcipate in any sort of those activities. Without the development of humans no country can develop.
