At schools, students should only be taught academic knowledge to pass the exams, and skills such as cookery, dressmaking and woodwork should be learned from family and friends. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people opine that teachers should only teach courses related to the

syllabus

to help children to do well in their final tests,

however

, others think that additional activities including dress designing, cooking and artefacts are some of the skills which could be taught well at home by parents and co-mates. In my perspective,

such

extra skills could be made a part of the extra

syllabus

activities of students along with the academic studies. Thereby,

this

essay will outline the importance along with the reasons saying how crucial it is to have multiple skills in one's life.

To begin

with, no doubt educational subjects are mandatory to pass the institutions, but there is a myriad of children who do not have much interest in academics and opt for additional activities

such

as comedy, acting, dancing, sports and many more and

also

cherish their free time tasks as their profession in the long run. Having

such

projects bring self-awareness to children which helps them to realize their interest at a very early age.

In other words

, most of the artists and actors in their interviews have been noticed saying that they have chosen acting as a profession because they developed it through own conscious while performing in school or college functions and programs.

therefore

, having

such

courses in extra curriculum makes students mindful, cognitive and develops more potential in them.

Nevertheless

, as children already have a huge load of academic subjects; they barely get a chance to spend time with family and friends and having some more tasks to perform would pose a huge mental pressure on them which could result into depression, anxiety and several other mental disorders in the long run.

This

could be a reason which makes parents worried about putting immense pressure by adding

such

skills in the secondary

syllabus

.

However

, it could be resolved with the joint effort and support of family and teachers. Mentors could provide

further

attention towards the learners who are lagging behind in certain activities and parents could support children by encouraging and giving them a chance to acknowledge their field of interest. To recapitulate,

although

institutional courses are obligatory to pass the exams, but, extra

syllabus

skills are

also

imperative as it could open several other paths of success for children if they are not willing to pursue

further

with their academic education.

Hence

, the advantages of having the secondary curriculum overweigh the reasons for focusing only on the educational

syllabus

.
