Impact of Co-curricular Activities in Educational Institutions
The latest episode of Ranra (Light) discussed the impact of co-curricular activities in educational institutions, with Dr. Sareer Bacha, Chairman Statistics Department Islamia College University Peshawar.
The program aimed at discussing the importance of such activities along with academic excellence, particularly among the youth. Dr. Bacha emphasized that in the current scenario of the region, the state must prioritize its target areas. Efforts must be made towards ensuring access to a standardized quality education with equal facilities for all. He was of the opinion that co-curricular and extracurricular activities refine the soft skills of the youth, preparing them for real life practical activities. He said that logical debate and dialogue should be encouraged to enable our students to think critically and find solutions for existing problems faced by their communities. Encouragement of co-curricular activities will guide the youth in a positive direction, drifting them away from negativity and extremism.
A report was aired to share the concerns of the masses on quality education and its importance in handling the growing intolerance and extremism. There were six live calls and three SMS messages during the program.
