Play is a crucial component of development in children. It incorporates critical problemsolving and learning skills, such as creativity, resilience, and collaboration. When children are encouraged to play in an enabling environment with the right resources, they can develop self-directed learning habits that foster curiosity for lifelong learning.
DISCOVERY IN EDUCATION
School education should focus on a holistic approach, along with integrated lessons and activities that build knowledge through discovery. Play is necessary to bring out the best in children during their formative years. It’s important for schools to strive to create an environment where students can nurture their self-directed learning through an array of interesting activities, like role-playing, imagination games, interacting with plants and animals and much more.
