Importance of extracurricular activities for students

The educational system in some countries is strictly the curriculum based that gives nothing more than the bookish knowledge. They think that few books and learning material are enough for the overall development of students. Well, in reality it is insufficient and all it does it restricts students’ imagination power. The educational system of a country should consist of the basic curriculum as well as the extracurricular activities. Workshops for schools will help students get involved into social and cultural activities. Let us discuss some of the benefits of the extracurricular activities for children. Here we go...

• Learning new things:

Primary school workshops are very important for students at an early stage. The students involved into the extracurricular activities get a chance to learn new things. They come across various new people, new activities and learn to face the real life scenarios and that how to deal with them.

• Building social network:

Once the students go out from the world of books, they have to interact with different kinds of people. They learn to socialize and communicate with them.

• Motivation:

Once they get appreciation for their participation or achievement, they get encouraged to go into deep in that field. This is the way they can discover what are they good at and what are their hobbies.

• Incorporate universal values:
• Hard work: If their fellow mates are better than them, they strive to work hard and get better results.
• Sportsmanship: Working in group will also incorporate the values like sportsmanship into them.
• Team work: They learn to work together as a team
• Increases the educational value

A brilliant student who is already good in studies, and also involved into the extracurricular activities has an added benefit of winning the competitions.  

• Keep them away from unethical things:

The last but not the least, one of the most important advantages of extracurricular activities is that if a student is engaged into those activities, there are least chances he will be into the unethical things.
