Good morning maam, im pradnya wakode and im going to speak on importance of co

curricular activities in school academics.

School activities play a significant part in the development of students.

Co-curricular activities have become a fundamental part of school life and aides
in improving students learning at school. These activities are mandatory &
necessary for every student to participate. Co-curricular are structured and
balanced with the academic curriculum so that every student gets the opportunity
to learn beyond studies.

cultural & ethical values, personality development, and character advancement in
students. It includes athletics, social occasions, Library activities, creative
arts, and so on.

What do yo mean by Co-Curricular Activities?

Also referred to as ‘extracurricular activities,’ which fall outside the regular

academic curriculum and as a part of the school life is called Co-Curricular
Activities.
These Activities are beneficial for students in several ways. Let us see some of
the benefits of co curricular activities:

1. It helps Better Physical & Mental health

These types of activities require students to stay active by active participation

in some co-curricular activities. Since they have no chance to skip these as it’s a
part of their daily curriculum. STUDIES have shown that students pursuing some or
other hobbies get better results in their studies.

2. it can Create Opportunities

In this highly competitive world, better grades act as game changers while taking
admissions in other schools, colleges, or institutions. Co-curricular activities
provide better opportunities as students pursuing these activities are given more
preference over those who aren’t involved in such types of activities.

3. builds aSense of Responsibility & Confidence

When at an early stage of life, children are given tasks of responsibility to

handle; they become much better in handling these types of odd situations in their
later life too. This fosters a sense of self-confidence, accountability &
responsibility within them.

4. Development of Special Skills

Co-curricular activities improve the learning experiences of students, help them

identify and develop their inner talents like creative & public-speaking skills,
leadership qualities, etc. Co-curricular activities offer them an opportunity of
thinking unusually and getting the innovative ideas of their own. These activities
help the students develop an enriched learning experience by providing them a
chance of imagining new ways of solving an issue or answering a question.
