Sports, Education and Small School Innovation

The role of sport in the African society is a prominent issue . The success of public education in the 20th century led to a standardized idea arose of how a " school " look ; and an athletics track and rugby posts have prominently in people 's minds begin sitting . The 400m track is best known , with at least here and there is a primary school with a 300m one, but large it needs to be , and with the netball courts , tennis courts and cricket nets in the drive past more visible than the hall , the classrooms and purposeful facilities such as media centers and laboratories . Sports can be a healthy and productive role in educational games, and the institution of good sports facilities can be helpful . However, it is unfortunate that this visible element of a school site parents sometimes forget the academic institution at least also properly reviewed . Widespread incidents of unnecessary and overly encouraging achievement urge - more often than parents of the pupils themselves - suggests that sport and a dangerous superficial life and worldview easy go . Smaller private schools have a challenge for sports facilities in place, budgets rightly focussed on the basic academic presentation focus , and the extensive property needed for meaningful sports fields , can be difficult to afford . The small private schools often quite successfully leased facilities of public schools to meetings to offer , but it does not display obvious as part of the school 's activities through the years , and it is true that the practice is not as effectively presented without a own sports field . Options for different tracks that lay out in more compact format, is happy increasingly seen in the South African school material . Innovative thinking , for example, a 100m - naellooplengte diagonally across a field to mark it makes for more of the little schools possible to own courts operate . It's an example that you should not become entangled everything just standardized should stay, and again it is the little school that meaning to teach : the need to plan to bring innovation and entrepreneurship emerges that a public school with his large and obvious amenities can only dream of . There is much talk about entrepreneurship , innovation and independent thinking skills: the sports field and sports presentation provides interesting food for thought , or the large state school is the answer ( and hence the large Curro school) and whether the economy and the country's progress very need more smaller schools ?
