As a parent, I do agree that all primary schools should be allocated more resources to support pupils' non-academic pursuits, in order to provide a holistic education. However, I disagree with the idea of having all co-curricular activities (CCAs) at all schools.
For instance, gymnastics is a highly specialised sport, requiring specialised training premises and coaches, and it will be unrealistic to get many schools to offer it.
