Question 4

Considering the aforementioned points both in favour and against the motion we have come to a conclusion that although there might be a few problems regarding this proposed idea but we have to look at the bigger picture. The proposed idea has the potential to revolutionize the existing education system. For the first time we are considering activities which will help in the overall development of a student and make them better prepared to face the real world. Yes, I agree there are a lot of difficulties like unavailability of required funds and imposing these activities on students. But eventually when this process will come into force there will be many people who would come forward and volunteer to help the schools which are really in need. And at the end I would like to leave you with a thought that The ultimate purpose of these activities is Not to kill time, but to make a life Not to keep a person occupied, but to keep them refreshed, Not to offer a escape from life, But to provide a discovery of life.

Also I personally feel including these activities would make us come closer to our own culture. Due to increasing modernization, I believe somewhere we have lost our cultural identity and forgot our rich cultural heritage. Therefore I believe including these in our curriculum would make us aware and bring us closer to our own true identity.

I firmly believe inclusion of activities like singing and dancing would inculcate a sense of discipline among students. It helps students gain valuable life skills by learning the importance of feedback, both positive and constructive. It improves their communication skills thereby making them more confident. It makes student more creative and makes them ready to face the real world.

My fellow debaters have raised some important issues and I will try to answer them. If we include these in our core curriculum, the awareness regarding these activities would certainly increase and more and more people will volunteer to provide the necessary instruments. Also I believe teaching these from childhood would encourage students to take up these activities as their career and the would help break the existing notion of "successful" in our society.
