Title: Urgent Need for Yoga Training in Government and Government-Aided Schools
Educationists are calling on the education department to take immediate steps to provide basic yoga training to students in government and government-aided schools. The emphasis on yoga training, which was once a regular part of the curriculum, has reportedly diminished over time and has now disappeared completely.
Several years ago, yoga training was introduced in government and aided schools as a means of promoting mental balance and increasing students’ interest in academics and co-curricular activities. However, the lack of emphasis on this training has resulted in only a few schools offering yoga and meditation exercises to students at the discretion of the teachers.
In today’s challenging educational environment, students are facing various hardships, including misbehavior, violence, and distractions. It is believed that incorporating yoga and meditation exercises into educational co-curricular activities can help improve students’ thinking and develop mental integrity.
Government school teachers have voiced their concerns, stating that despite requests to the education department, no action has been taken to provide proper training for teachers to temporarily offer yoga classes to students. They emphasized the psychological benefits of yoga for children, particularly those affected by challenging family situations, and called for the resumption of yoga exercises in schools.
It is recommended that the education department conduct competitions to encourage student participation in yoga exercises and intensify the promotion of yoga activities in schools. Educationists stress the importance of taking proper action in this regard to support the overall well-being and academic success of students.
