Some people believe that non academic subjects should be removed from the syllabus so that children can concentrate only on academics. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays there is increasing pressure on juveniles to have grand success in education, keeping

this

in mind, some people think of cancelling the extracurricular activities. The main reason for thinking of

this

is so that pupils could concentrate on educational content

such

as maths and science. In my opinion, I did not agree with

this

notion and I will explain my reason in the following paragraph. It is a fact that if the academic score is poor, there is a high chance of staying unemployed unless one really has a good family business.

This

is the main reason for

parents

to think on academic scores are excellent.

Furthermore

,

parents

also

think that non-educational topics

such

as sports and cookery skills are unnecessary tests and give points to

students

.

For example

, in my school, the P.E. class was forced every student to play a sport different for each grade as commanded by the education ministry. So, there are various

students

and

parents

who think that why P.E. class must have a grade because the purposes of the subject want

students

to have healthy bodies. Some

students

lose average grade points because of failed physical exams which make them stressed.

On the contrary

, if any student exceeds the expectations in cooking or sports, that can be a great opportunity to take part in the Olympics or to become a chef as a career. Topmost achievers in

such

non-academics do earn a lot of money and become famous.

Although

such

chances are rare, one is still should encourage to be part of physical activities to have a healthy mind and body. I have seen examples of academic toppers who are having health challenges

such

as often approaching hospitals and being under medications. To sum up, there should be consideration of physical activities and vocational subjects apart from academics, so that

students

will stay healthy and wise.

Parents

should not avoid

such

subjects because these subjects indirectly help in succeeding academically by having a healthy mind

as a result

of a healthy body.
