People and parents are commonly mistaken that their children are glued to the chair of the classroom
and study everyday,but it is not true.Education should help students to fit in today's society with basic
skills.For instance, social skills,this skill is not being taught in the classroom.An educated student must
be prepared to face the society,thus the future.That is why co-curricular activities are invented to teach
students something different from the education system. These co-curricular have their importance and
it brings benefits to the students who take part in co-curricular activities.Some of the importance of co-
curricular activities are that students can learn different skills than academics,helps students to stay fit
and healthy,helps students discover their passion and many more.

There are a lot of importance in co-curricular activities to be listed,one of them is that it gives an
opportunity for students to learn different skills than academics.It is true that academics is important to
students since it determine their future,but there are other skills that are important to them in the
future.For instances, social skills,management skills,leadership and many more.Co-curricular activities
should help students to take break from studying and have fun with friends,at the same time they will
learn a lot of useful traits.Since there is a lot of different co-curricular activities,it should be good enough
for students to try out most of the activities in their 5 years of high school.

Besides that,co-curricular activities helps student to stay fit healthy.This is because co-curricular includes
sports.There are a many sports for students to try out at school.For example,
archery,football,rugby,swimming and many more.These sports requires high stamina and strength,so

interested.For example chess and scrabble.These sports can help to improve student's by mentally.It can
help students to make better decision and improves memory.Both indoor and outdoor sports gives
many opportunity to students to enter competitions against schools,states and even countries.The
benefits of representing school is students will earn certificate that is useful when entering a
collage.Furthermore,competitions will give experience to students and it will help in the future when
entering competition.

Lastly,co-curricular activities will help students to discover their passion.Since in schools,there verities
of co-curricular activities,students can try out and find which is the most suitable for them.When they
found their passion,they can continue it and it will become their source of income in the future.They
should know and learn what are the requirement to pursue their passion.For example, if a student want
to be a cyber security he needs to credit for mathematics and B for science computer.This shows that
co-curricular activities are useful to students.

to try out new things alone,but at school,they have friends that can accompany them.Co-curricular
activities are invented to teach students something different from the education system. The
government hope that students get a head start while still in school and it will be easier for them in the
