Hi everyone.

Yes, extracurricular activities should make compulsory in school this type of activities will make students stronger and firstly.

These activities avoid stage fear. It gives strong mind and improves competitive spirit, it improves knowledge.

Some students are not active they feel stage fear they won't participate in activities, that time parents and teachers have a responsibility to teach them in nice way. When students participate in those activities parents also know their children's talent and they happily give chances, and they change the mindset about children's.

I conclude that extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools. It will gives chance to every student to show their hidden talent and that is the stage to avoid fear and also gives refresh to every student.

Yes, this should be made compulsory because today we see that everyone is busy in study and they have a very burden. On the name of extra curricular activity they played video games. Then how their mind devlop for another thing and they have no time for any activity because they spend their all time in studies because they have pressure about that secure good marks in exams, this is good but if they doesnt take part in any extra curiculler activity then their mind will not prepare for other thing because I think if student give attention only in study then they get depressed because their mind convert according to that while if they take part in extra curriculler activity then they feel freshly and also their mind and they also choose that what they want in future means in which field they have intrest.

Hey guys.

I am Monika.

Our topic is Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in school.

Yes, it is very important to make the extracurricular activities compulsory in not only schools but in colleges also if possible. Nowadays even a small child is being pressurised so much to read and become topper of the class in most cases. And marks are given so much of importance which is not fair. The children should be given equal exposure all extracurricular activities which help in personality development, stress relief and moulding them into better citizens as they learn morals, punctuality etc. Through sports like activities.

Nowadays students are committing suicides for getting less marks which is very unfortunate so through extracurricular activities students must be taught the life lessons.

Today's children are tomorrow's citizens. To have a healthy future world, children are to be physically and mentally strong. Children are the pillars of the society.

Extracurricular activities make a person creative, skill orient and talentive. They increasesimaginative power ofchildren. They build up analytical thinking and reasoning skills. Making children stick to studies is not a good thing. Government should bring up policies to make extra curricular activities compulsory at school level.

To stand in today's competitive world academics are not enough. Extracurricular activities like sports build up stamina and makes children fit. Activities like public speaking removes stage fear and boosts confidence from the root level as 72% of the people are suffering from stage fear all over the world.

Having a wide range of experiences prepares people better for the future, especially in today's uncertain world. The broad education that the co-curriculum can provide is better preparation for life in a society where an individual may change career several times in their life. Students must therefore have a fundamental grasp of multiple skills. For instance, athletes who had their career cut short due to mishaps might venture into business, having had co-curricular experience of entrepreneurship as part of their education. Speech and debate clubs might give a doctor or engineer the communication skills to move into broadcasting, teaching, or even politics. Placing more emphasis on the co-curriculum thus ensures a variety of possibilities for young people to choose from instead of being sidelined.

In my opinion,

Here I'm seeing a lot of Yes's. But what about the No's.?

The child may not want to play sports. you can still be healthy and not play the sport.
this should be the child's choice. not the parents.

Here is a list of negative points to the statement.

- Low-skilled players
- Not wanting to play
- Cost involved in the school, umpires, coaches, venues
- Different sports that the schools might not have and then be forced to play what they don't want to
- Club being at the same time as school
- Not everyone is wanting to play sport " attitude not being serious
- Won't take it as seriously
- Won't enjoy coming to school
- People might not have time (give up work or club commitments)
- Cost for parents to make child play school
- Space that's available around the school
- Injuries

Extracurricular activities are those activities apart from studies that improve the physical as well as mental health of students. These activities can play a major role in generating the sportsmanship in students. Students can learn how to respect your opponent and other team members. Students can learn how to handle a situation so that a predicted result can be generated. For example in activities like cricket, football, students can learn how to change the strategy so that they can defeat another team. These activities can help in building the stamina of the students. Students can know each other deeply.

They can provide a platform so that students can refresh their mind and body after long hours of study. That's why extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools.

Students have a right to a broad education. Why should a science student have to give up music, or a social studies major not get opportunities for sport? Many children have talents in all sorts of different areas, and it is wrong to force them to specialise too early. A career is not the only part of an adult's life " school needs to make sure they have interests and skills that will help them in their family and leisure lives too. Through equal balancing of academic and co-curriculum, however, the students have the chance to exercise their rights and the opportunity to be multi-talented. Lopsided individuals are not the key to the future, instead of recognising each individual by their talents there exists a higher possibility for young people to learn and to grow in their studies.

I agree with the view that extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools. I do not understand why many schools focus only on academic studies and give very little importance to other activities, especially in higher classes. Schools often fail to give equal priority to both academics and extracurricular activities such as sports, dance, and singing.

As a result, students start believing that there is no option other than studying, which creates a lot of stress during their schooling years. If schools provide equal weightage to academics and extracurricular activities, students will develop the ability to balance their studies along with other activities. These activities help students feel good, reduce stress, and refresh their minds during their school life.

Hello,

This is Krishna,

From my point of view, the question that we are answering to, is not extracurricular activities (eca) it is part of education system. Management of school for their benefits they won't allow sports in school hours. To run the business they need ranks for schools so, they added extra study hours instead of sports hour. They are many schools which approved by the government have no grounds for conducting assembly so, the first step should be from govt. To approve only school which as a minimum place to conduct assembly and also compulsory ECA period for every school. So every student can explore his/her talent from sports, singing, painting or writing stories. There is no need to wait for one Sachin in 40 years there will more Sachin's in one year.
