Sports helps an individual much more than in the physical aspects alone. It builds character, teaches and develops strategic thinking, analytical thinking, leadership skills, goal setting and risk taking, just to name a few.
The Proprietress/CEO Adnak School Abakpa Kaduna, Hajiya Kudirat Akinwale speaking with Zainab Tanimu of Newsreservoir during the school’s inter house sports explains more.
She advised parents to aside showing interest in the child’s school work should encourage them in sports.
“The children are the leaders of tomorrow and they can only become leaders when they are changed. They can only become leaders when they have knowledge. We have to guide them, we have to train them in the knowledge both in our Deen and how to live a successful life.
This has to do with education of all the contemporary knowledge that we need to acquire. That is what we do and this is our believe.”
In terms of monitoring the children, parents she said have a lot to do if they must achieve success in life.
She urged parents to take the welfare of their children seriously by monitoring how they are faring irrespective of their engagements as education is the foundation of a child’s life.
“Definitely, education comprises three major areas which need to be focused on.
“There should be focus on the childrens intelligence, ie the cognitive ability, focusing on their behavior because without good behavior, nothing good can be achieved or come out from such a child.
Also important is the development of the childrens skills.
This is why we are here today.”
“We want to develop their skills, we want to build them to become all round human beings.
They can be able to use their body, they can be able to use their knowledge and can on be able to be of good character.”
To foster unity, invitation was extended to other schools.
