50 percent of schooling hours should be spent in outside activities: Vice President
50 percent of schooling hours should be spent in outside activities: Vice President
On Saturday, Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu said that should spent 50 percent of their schooling hours in outside activities and parents and teachers should give equal importance to sports education as well. Mr. Naidu was addressing the students of Jubilee Hills Public School on the occasion of their annual day function and said, “ Studies are important but equally important are sports, fine arts, dance, music, art and culture. In fact, I have been advocating that students should spend 50 per cent of their schooling hours outside classrooms and that sports education should be accorded greater importance by educationists and parents.” The Vice President said that school curriculum should inculcate rational and independent thinking among the students. He also urged to revamp the school education system completely so that students enjoy going to school and become life long learners. “The education system needs to focus on making a child curious, creative, caring, communicative, confident and capable. It should prepare each child to be an active, caring citizen ready to participate in the world of today and capable of shaping the world of tomorrow. Such an environment will instill confidence in children, apart from inculcating a spirit of tolerance and accommodation in them,” the Vice President said. Pointing out that education was the foundation for all efforts to improve the quality of our lives, Mr Naidu said, “Our life is multi-faceted and so must education be.”
