Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school

In my opinion, extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools. It is as if the base of a build strong, it can bear earthquake similarly if the base of education of a child is good, he will do good in future. Extracurricular activities promote the overall development of a student. A student should not be limited to studies. He/ she should be given exposure to various kind of extra activities. Students will not be hesitant to go to stage otherwise it is observed that students at later stage feel of the stage. They could not express themselves in front of the crowd. They lack leadership skills. They may find their keen interest in some activities and they can pursue a career in that field. Besides, students should participate in the various competition at school level. It will develop competency among them. All companies nowadays demand competent and skilled persons for a job and these skills are developed in schools.

Hello guys,

The is no debate in this topic. Definitely extra curricular activities should be made compulsory as it not only results in the all round development of the student, but it also let the student know and explore much more about his own interests and hobbies. Also these activities make students learn various things such as team spirit, leadership skills, communication skills, social skills and also remove stage fright. These small small activities can bring a big change in the students life as they let the students throw off their wings in all directions and fly as high as they wish.

But the only point contradicting is that these activities require many different materials which a poor family can't afford on a daily basis. So I think that the materials for such activities should be provided by the schools and also the schools should conduct various competitions so as to build a spirit of motivation among the students.

Extra-curricular activities should be made compulsory in school.

Let me start with a proverb "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY". I fully agreed that education is the most important element in one's life. Nowadays, we can see that the whole curriculum and education standard is completely changed. It is quite helpful in developing the all-round personality in children. Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in school so that they can interact with teachers and with their friends more and more. Nowadays we can see that most of the students are struggling with the stress in this competitive era so it will be very helpful for them if extracurricular activities are a part of their curriculum in their school. It will be helpful in creating their interest in both academics as well as extra curriculum activities. Through this, they can learn teamwork and will lead to a balanced and enjoyable life.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Yes, it should be made compulsory in school as it gives refreshment to the students. If you see in private school the teachers make their rules and student have to follow the particular rules what the teachers had made. But this is not the perfect way to identify the abilities of a student as a different student has different types of qualities and skills. Some students have skills in dancing, some are sports, some are in martial arts etc and etc. By conducting these activities we can able to know each student's abilities, mind-power and their confidence. So from school days, if they have done some extra curricular activities, then they will be habituated which will make them very expressive in the society. It will also improve their enthusiasm towards studies. Even though doctor also suggests everyone give some time for extra curricular activities. So it should be made compulsory in schools.

THANK YOU.

We've all heard about the proverb "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"! It emphasises on the fact that extracurricular activities are strongly needed for the growth of a child. Having said that extracurricular activity are as essential as academics in school, I would strongly disagree with the motion of making them compulsory in schools. This is due to the fact that nowadays students are burdened with dozens of academic subjects in their syllabus and by making EXA compulsory would just be like forcing another subject on them without even knowing whether they like it or not! If a child likes playing football, he could be least interested in music and vice versa, thus the purpose of relaxing their minds and body would not be solved. Instead, I would suggest the school to arrange the wide range of ExA on an optional basis and encouraging students to take part in them by properly mentoring them!

Thank You.

Hello fried in my opinion.

Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools for the following reasons.

1. Activities make our mind free from studies.
2. Children learn sportsman spirit from them.
3. Their body is fit and healthy.
4. This will also aid the school to find the hidden talent and potential of the future sports person.
5. They help to channelize the boundless energy of kids.
6. This will certainly raise the standard of our performance globally.

On the other hand, sometimes extra curricular activities are not good for the following reasons.

1. It can damage the personality of a physically weak child. Such a child will develop an inferiority complex.
2. Moreover, some kids prefer being engrossed in books which provide them enough diversion.

I feel that games are absolutely essential for a balanced personality development where the mind and body grow in tandem.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

Of course, it should make compulsory in schools. For ex: If you see in private schools, the teachers make some rules and they put border on that and the students should follow the rules what the teachers are made. This is not the way to find the ability of the students because different students have different type of skills. Teachers and parents can find it from extra curricular activities some students have skill in dancing, some are in studies, some are in sports, etc. By conducting these activities helps to find out each students abilities and confidence. When you see the government school students, they are different from private school. Because their teachers are giving importance on extra curricular activities than studies. The demerit in government School, there is no systematic way learning. The government Should poke in this matter and take some serious decisions on it.

Of course extra curricular activities should be made mandatory in schools. It has multiple benefits associated with it. Right from shaping the persona of a student, to providing a healthier body it has several advantageous effects on us. As we all know "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy". So its very well suited over here. Extras sharpen our concentration and increase our efficiency and performance level in studies or any concerned area. Apart from this, it teaches the qualities like teamwork, leadership building. Co-curricular have tremendous effects on our personality from. Teaching us to more patient to encouraging us to be disciplined. In the current scenario, where there is cut-throat competition in every field, mandating co-curricular at school is very helpful for proper shaping as well as the stable state of our mind, make it resistant to mental disorders like depression.

Yes, besides learning the things in you book the student want to know their surroundings and they need to know the taste of music and also need to know how to share their thoughts without any fear in front of society. This type of schooling method wants to commence from their primary level of education and also find time for each student because all the students have some potential.

Because of a lack of confidence, they will always step backwards and in future, he/she will regret it because they have only knowledge from books sometimes they can't even express their knowledge because of a lack of self-confidence. Therefore bringing extracurricular activities and giving them a chance to avoid their stage of fear in their school life is essential. It might change the mentality of the student and also help them to know their power and their role in bringing up a better nation.

Yes, Extra Curricular activities are important. Why?

1. Must for holistic (Mental, Physical, Emotional) development of an individual.

2. It helps an individual to recognize his/her talent at an early stage and if he/she finds himself/herself good enough they can pursue it as a career.

3. Boosts confidence.

The problem is that Indian schools have very few activities and they force all students to do those activities. When I was a kid, I was not interested in doing dance, play but I had to do as it was a rule in our school to be part of at least two activities and I used to find it as wastage of my time. I was real of fond computer and want to join robotic club, mechanical workshop but my school had none and if any school has these facilities that are a mechanical workshop, robotic lab they often charge a student a lot of money (Rs. 500 - Rs. 1000) for 3-4 days course.
