Should sports be made compulsory subjects in schools?

Sports and games are an important part of our lives. They improve our physical fitness, improve
our abilities and in the case of team games, enhance our social skills.

It improves the general quality of life. It also assists in developing the habit of discipline, the
determination to win and enhance willpower. Regular participation in games or sports will also
enable a person to develop a strength,ability to assist and focus on their aim and work.
Eventually, a good sports person can become a good leader on leadership qualities.

The most worrying trend in current education system is the neglect of this important aspect of
child’s development.In many cases, there is no time allocated to sports and games. It is quite
worry that there has been significantly large number of schools and colleges without
playgrounds. lot number of schools and colleges are operated without any place for children and
students to play sports. This unhealthy trend has to be stopped and the States must not allow
the entertain of such institutions.

Sports should be made as a compulsory subject in Schools and Colleges and extra marks should
be given in Examinations. There should also be a quota for employment for Sport Persons.With
changes in lifestyle that provide very little opportunities for physical activities, there is a big need
to spread awareness about outdoor sports and games thought we support for each curricullam
and help them to arise their own way to achive for nation.

So I personally request to our government to take special concern about sports and make sports
as compulsary subjects to grow talented kids and make their own identity in future.

Thank You,
