SIGNIFICANCE OF EXTRAMURAL CLASSES IN ACADEMIC SUCCESS

According to the Merriam Webster English Dictionary, extramural lesson is defined as any education existing or functioning outside or beyond the walls, boundaries, or precincts of an organized unit (such as a school).  Extramural lessons are vital because even though they are not a part of the core curriculum, they still play a very crucial role in giving children the ability to learn at their own pace and therefore become well rounded students.

Extramural classes are a supplement to mainstream education. In Nigeria however, it has become a very profitable business for trained and untrained public and private teachers. A situation that has bred mistrust in the benefits of extramural lessons but when done by a trained educator the benefits are boundless.

Benefits of Extramural lessons

Listed below are some ways extramural lessons prove beneficial to the academic success of a growing child

 

  1. Learning environment devoid of any pressure: Unlike formal education in schools, extra classes do not pressure the students; instead, it creates a comfortable environment for learning to take place. Students are provided with tailored support by the tutors and given ample time for delving into their course materials. The learning environment that extra mural lessons creates is devoid of any pressure as students have the ability to take as much time as required going through their course materials.
  2. Focused attention: Teachers and personnel providing the extra classes can give undivided attention to the students on an individual basis. This process ensures that the student can learn and follow along with what is being taught without feeling left out or lost. With focused attention, students are ensured that they are supported and emphasis is placed on the places they find most difficult.
  3. Expansion of knowledge: Extramural lessons help in broadening the academic outlook of students. Since most topics are not completely treated during the course of classroom activities, extramural lessons afford the student time to gain more knowledge at his or her own pace. Likewise, they can use this knowledge to stay ahead of their peers and even the teachers’ syllabus.

Eliminates worry: Formal education, even in the best of schools instilled with excellent facilities is undoubtedly effective. However, many children can oftentimes find the academic curriculum extremely difficult and tedious which goes on to create emotional turmoil within the child. The only thing that can save them from this trouble is assigning extra mural classes to the child. Acquiring assistance from specialized personnel will help the student feel more secure and confident about themselves academically. Extramural lessons will better help the child grasp the knowledge and materials which will pave the way for academic success
