  1. Additional subjects, other than academic, are needed by the students to enhance their knowledge in different field of study. I personally believe that subjects to be study should not be limited. Learning is a continuous manner until the end of our life. Every student needs a complete preparation before they go to another stage of life, like having enough knowledge to different areas of subject that are related to the development of their well being as individual.
    School is a second home for children wherein a variety of knowledge is being learned, so it is not fair that only academic subject are going to teach. We have music, sports, home economics and many more additional subjects that will help a lot to the student in the future. We should also address the needs of children for having enjoyment while studying. It is good to see that students are motivated to learn if they are interested to the subject.
    Nowadays, schools that are teaching non-academic subjects are proven to be effective motivator to their students to study well. Let say, varsity player who can get a full scholarship from their school, is another way of helping the student. And another thing is every student have their own ability in different field of study, so how can we see those ability if we will disregard some subjects.
    To conclude with, every children has the rights to learn everything, rights to know about sports, music etc. that will help them in the future. And no one can prevent them from learning because it is a part of their life, to learn everything.

  2. Non academic subjects like music and sports are part of the curriculum in schools and universities ever since. These subjects are included to enhance the skill of every student individually or group, enhance the talent of students who are excelling in singing, dancing, and different sports. It is a belief that Non academic subjects are necessary in School.

    In Sports or Physical Education are designed to provide skill, competition and good will to fellow students. Social interaction is markedly developed since achieving a passing grade should need a group effort. The subject molds the students from being active, strong and healthy at the same time they learned activities which they can be used in future. Team building, competition and camaraderie are the positive things that a student can achieve. A student who are excelling in sports are the achiever, they can be a leader or manager later in their career.

    Music subjects are rich in history and culture particularly in conservation of tradition on a certain region. It is where the students interact with each other and perform activities in group like choir and dancing. It can also be a tool in communicating people, by music students can express their emotions and feelings by rehearsals, practice and performance.

    It is a fact that the school curriculum are been revised every time but still non academic subjects are essentials and important. Group activities, team building, development of talents and many more to mentions are the advantages of it. Without sports, music and other non academic subjects, the life in school is boring.
