1.1 Introduction
Extracurricular activities are the sources that have been an integral part of the education system; students participate in these kinds of activities and they do not fall into the sphere of normal curriculum and instructional methods. Students at all levels participate in these activities, of all age groups and standards. The areas that come under extra-curricular activities include sports, games, art, music, drama, poetry, student newspaper, clubs and governance. Participation in all these activities or just one of them of student’s own interest has been connected to social and academic success; on the other hand, over-participation may be quite demanding and may consume much of their free time and thus interrupt with their academic curriculum as well. There are different outlooks of what is considered an extra-curricular activity (Annu, 2013).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study.
