Do you think extra-curricular activities in school are important? Are they satisfactory in Indian schools?
The mind needs to develop all 7 forms of intelligence The person needs to develop other skills other than reading and writing The person needs good health and constant stimulation to stay active. In short, yeah, the right sort of extra curricular activity is necessary for schools. It’s not really given enough emphasis, because most of the time the activities are not interesting enough or that they are the wrong sort of activities. I don’t know much about Indian schools, but from your question is rather obvious that you don’t think so. Choice of activities: mental development and brain training (despite the negative connotations associated with the club) music clubs art clubs cultural exchange sports skills development – teams, communication, volunteering etc.
