I think extracurricular activities are as important as regular studies. There is a lot of advantages as if you play sports, you will get healthy. Extracurricular activities also improve the knowledge about outside world.

More importantly, it gives you experience. Like experience in giving a public speech, or writing an essay. And it improves the communication skills and also helps to meet new people. And the most important thing, children come to know their field of interest.

One more example to say extracurricular activities is us, look at us, we are doing group discussion to get placed. And if there are two schools wherein one school there is extracurricular activities whereas in another school there isn't. Then the school children of the second school can't compete with the children of other schools in activities like speech, group discussion. So it helps to build confidence also.

Most of the schools will have extracurricular activities, but it reduces when you see colleges, I think it should change.

Extracurricular activities are not just important but one of the core parts of one individual. It does not just improve your way of living you're but also escalated your overall persona to another level where every single person always wanted to attain. As we call it Extra circular it should not be called extra in any means. This is something which should be mandatory to everyone for the betterment of there life.

Participating in such activities not just bring the best out but helps to create new trade and components that help in the future to get a better life better thought process.

So one should always eager to be part of any activity which is happening around you.

Hi, everyone,

According to me, extracurricular activities are more important in a student's life. Because childhood days are the best days to learn anything. By practising any games/ activities it will help the student to increase their concentration and learning skill.

But it should not be imposed severely on students. Schools must bring interest among the student how to interest the games will be. So, that the children never think about to give up their sport/activity.

So, finally extracurricular activities are more important in schools.

Hello everyone,

I agree with many of you, on this, that extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in school. Because the school is the base maker of a student. Some type of activity like group discussion, swimming, debate etc are very important for a student. These are useful to build up the mind and develop the confidence and also make a good speaker also. We also include indoor and outdoor games so that. Ore student takes part and enjoys it. We know books are important but games, arts, speaking skills, dance, swimming, singing are very important in general life. So to make a bright future some involve activity are important that can be followed and also include in school learning plan. Thanks.

Yes. Extracurricular activities should be treated on par with studies. They make children expand their thinking ability what we call as lateral thinking. Mental stress gets reduced by getting involved in sports and others. But in a country like India people of the middle class don't know the importance of extracurricular activities. They think everything is reading books, which is a big myth. According to me they just want their children to get settled in life with a good salary, but it is not their fault. So schools should make every student participate in those for their welfare.

It seems me to that extracurricular activities must be compulsory in school & colleges as well because not only it needs to physical activity& mental health but also it helps to students become socialize and the can groom their at the drop of hat.

Extracurricular activities required for become a more organize and more confident in crowd and some research also proved that person involves in more than one activity more intelligent comparison to at the same time person involves in one activity because he use more part of brain comparison to other one at the same time that's why Extracurricular activities must be compulsory in schools and colleges because they are in their growing stage and not only they grow physically but also they grow emotionally, mentally.
