Co-Curricular Activites

Should schools and colleges increase the importance placed on co-curricular activities, so that they are formally recognised as equal to the academic curriculum?Co-curricular activities prepare students practically for the future. The normal curriculum can only go so far as to teach and educate students about academic theories.

I Feel schools and college should increase their focus on the extra curricular activities that would help the students to be mentally and physically fit. It also helps as a technique for stress management and help student to learn intergroup behaviour and he/she would be able to adjust in groups easily. The competitive strategy amongst student would be healthy.

yes, co-curricular activities should be given a significant amount of weightage as they are responsible for the overall development of students and the education system of India needs drastic changes !

Most specialist professions still provide a range of career opportunities, without any need to compromise academic education by over-emphasis on non-academic activities. For example, athletes who have been injured in mishaps can continue their career in the same field but just in a different post. No longer could they play, but they could still coach or even give sports science lectures to aspiring super stars. And if someone does wish to radically switch career in mid-life, there are plenty of evening classes and continuing education opportunities to allow them to retrain.
