“ECA” or “extracurricular activity” or we can say that
“extra academic activity”
In simple words let’s learn something and getting involved
with the fun and produce the good out of it. Now a day’s most of the students
are capable of doing some extra stuff in a class and they manage to score good
marks and get promoted to next class. But the question arises only good marks
are important for the overall development of a child?
I don’t think so, good marks will help in overall
development because if someone is up to the mark in studies and able to manage
the highest score in exams but can’t speak properly means weak in communication
then student is not fully developed and will definitely face hurdles in future
especially while appearing for the higher studies selection or campus
interviews.
Exams are just part
of knowledge, overall development means students must be up to the mark both
physically and mentally. It can only be possible with ECA- Extracurricularactivities which help in overall development of a child. In today’s highly competitive era ECA build
the overall personality of a child and help them to achieve something
remarkable in future.
How to do?
Mostly
extracurricular activities must be encouraged by the teachers in schools like
Debate, competitions, Group discussions. Basically, it’s not always about the
win in those activities sometimes it’s about the learning which will help them
to learn for future. Students must
participate in paper writing, essay competition so that they can have the good
command on grammars. “Participation is much more important than winning”.
Participation in sports, quiz, singing, dancing is equally
important for the mindset. In simple words it’s all about the brainstorm and
research for the skill set and then simply starts doing the activities.
