Involve children in recreational activities: Minister

November 29, 2015 5:52 pm

Education Minister Dr Mahendra Reddy has urged parents to ensure their children participate in recreational activities during the schools holiday that starts today.

Dr Reddy says there are various sporting facilities available through-out the country and students can spend time there instead of lying idle at home.

“My advice is that parents should plan it out – roster their children and book them for one event, then maybe for swimming classes – utilize these seven weeks. This is meant to give a break to the students, develop the child horizontally with other skills which will help the child become better citizens of this country and be able to live the life outside of their comfort zone.”

Dr Reddy says this way students will not get involved into unwanted activities.
