- allowing children to participate in extra carricular activities is like giving them wings to fly, giving them a chance to persue thier own field of interest be it in games,drama literary,research , studies etc. it gives them freedom to think rationally. but when the choice becomes compulsion it leads to unwillingness and frustration. ..
so instead of making it compulsary it should be kept as a choice in school so that children can get a chance to decide properly about what they actually want.. - RE: Extra-curricular activities should be made compulsory in school -alok (12/09/14)

- Extra curricular activities shud be made compulsory in school.....
When a child got an admission in school...wht he/she is interested in diff kinds of activities such as dancing,acting etc.....This interest of dem later give dem a kind of boost in future...What i want to say is if Extra curricular activities are not being introduced or made compulsory in schools...i m sure dat dey wont become einstien either by only concentrating in books...
If we talk abt future aspects of extra curricular activities....it is lot more benificial....
A person who is frm village nd not getting proper education ...Wht will he do in future...??
So dat person switches on to sports which counts in extra curricular activities...nd dis person will be more successful dan d person studying in schools with no extra curricular activities....m sure abt it....Nd dis is becoz d village guy has no option to achieve something in life...so he will definitely work hard in sports nd will make footprints fr others to follow..

- Making Extra curriculam activities compulsory in schools would be a idea.These activities are good physically and mentally.
Students come to know their area of interest and learn many thing like working as team,interacting with other schools student.It will help good athleate to find a platform. - RE: Extra-curricular activities should be made compulsory in school -RSW (12/07/14)
- Extracurricular activities should be compulsory but with a free space for students to be creative and enjoy it without feeling stress. For example, students get to choose the clubs they want to create and it's activities corresponding to their abilities and interest. So even if there were kids who only care about studying and good grades, they can start a club where they can study or together or research o topic related to their subjects to help them improve in studying.
This will benefit them in too many ways, they get to explore, have fun, improve their soft skills perhaps and teach them responsibility.
Saying that extracurricular activities won't help kids in the future is absolutely wrong. Education is not all about grades and information in books, it is all the experiences skills and information a person receives in their daily lives. - RE: Extra-curricular activities should be made compulsory in school -RSW (12/07/14)
