Co-Curricular Activities For Value Development

Co-curricular activities can prove to be an effective tool for the inculcation of values and nurturing creative talents if they are planned meticulously and executed properly.

For this purpose, various clubs and associations may also be formed e.g.

• Atheistic Club,
• Literary Association,
• Cultural Club,
• Magazine Committee
• Science Club,
• Bulletin and Board etc.

A teacher should be made in charge of each committee.

• Students should also be placed as a member of each committee in order to ensure their active participation in the planning and implementation of various programs.
• The teacher in charge should not impose their own ideas and values upon the students they only counsel and guide the students properly.

    • Such an impression alone could lead to several value-related participatory activities.
13. Institution must provide interaction opportunities to students with the persons of high character sacrifice, creative abilities, literary tastes, scholarly attitude whose mere presence could motivate them.
14. Mock parliament student self-government must organize in order to train them in the democratic system.

16. Lastly, the above strategies can be implemented effectively only through the right kind of teachers.
    • Thus, the role of a teacher is too much important in this regard.

According to the UNESCO (1972) report the teacher's duty is less and less to inculcate and more and more to encourage thinking, his formal functions apart, he will have to become more and more an adviser, a partner to talk to someone who helps seek out conflicting arguments rather than handing our readymade truths.

He/She will have to devote more time and energy to

• • Productive and creative activities;
  • Discussion,
  • Stimulation,
  • Interaction,
  • Understanding and encouragement.
