Two types of Activities in School

1. Curricular Activities
2. Co-curricular Activities
 Curricular Activities

Curricular activities or scholastic activities include:

 Teaching of subjects of study (Language, Maths, Science
and Social Science)
 Conduct of examinations/tests at different points of time in
a year/session,
 Evaluation of learner performance,
 Preparation of progress card of the students
 Curricular Activities
 These activities are strictly as per the prescribed curriculum
 Are compulsory for all students of the class
 A formal time table is followed to conduct these activities
 Mostly confined to classroom lessons
 Co-Curricular Activities
 Many other activities are conducted in schools and
classrooms, including:
 Games and sports
 Music, dance, drama, singing,
 Gardening
 Debate
 Excursion
 Exhibition etc.
 Co-Curricular Activities

 Are organized outside the classroom lessons

 Such activities do not always follow a formal and rigid time
table
 Such activities are not examined like academic subjects
 These are called co-curricular or co-scholastic activities
 CCA/ECA
 They may also be called as 'Extracurricular' i.e. activities
carried on outside the regular course of study; activities
outside the usual duties of a job, as extra class activities"

According to The International Dictionary of Education (1977)

“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse
for anyone to work harder than you.”
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." - Aristotle
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the
world.“ - Nelson Mandela
 Why Plan for CCA?
 There are many characteristics of co-curricular activities, which
directly or indirectly help the classroom teaching
 CCA supplement and complement the entire teaching learning
process and effectively impact student learning outcomes
 Why Plan for CCA?
 It strengthens the classroom teaching and helps to clear the
concept of topics
 ECA emphasizes development or creativity, aesthetic as well as
spiritual development which are essential components of
education
 Why Plan for CCA?
 It helps in developing features like speech fluency and language
skills
 And it helps students to express their ideas freely due to active
participation in debate and extempore
 CCA are good platform to excel in acting, singing, speaking, and
recitation
 Discussion also helps in generating ideas and inculcating values
 Role of CCA
 Games and Sports make students mentally and physically fit and
sound
 Games make students learn how to perform while losing or
winning an event
 Sometimes, classroom teaching becomes monotonous and
routine
 Here, CCA can bring pleasant and joyous experiences. Thus
CCA activity has many advantages in student's life
 Role of CCA
 To realize the all-round development of student, curricula should
be amalgamated with CCA or ECA
 CCA help in realization of aims and objectives of education
 Thus, CCA becomes the integral part of school's curriculum and
students life
