One Student One Sport Argumentative Essay

Education Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced One Student

One Sport. Based on the article that I have read in NST Online dated 23
February 2010 wrote that sports would have a separate syllabus, and there
will be an infusion of sports teachers to realize a dream of one student, one
sport. Muhyiddin has set next year to kick-start this plan which would see
sports has a separate syllabus and not be part of the co-curriculum, or
uniformed bodies. There are benefits on this programme but we also may
detect some weakness in this programme.

Based on what Muhyiddin had said, sports subject will be separated

from the syllabus and co-curriculum or uniformed bodies. That means, this
programme will need new hours and day to be implemented. For co-
curriculum, it will held every Wednesday evening. For sport subject, assume
it will held on Thursday evening. Of course it will interrupt time for evening
school session especially for those who entered an Islamic School in evening.

Secondly, it may cause the increases of rate of student absenteeism.

Usually on co-curriculum or uniformed bodies session on evening, student
will take the chance to skip school because they think it is not important
especially for the student who dislike to having the activity in school. It is not
impossible if the same thing happens to sport hours. There are not many
students who like sports.

Besides, it can increase the pressure of the students. Too many school
activities will make them stress and affect their studies. They need a time to
eat, do homework, do revision, house works, learn to read the Quran and
spend time with their families. All these activities will make them tired and
stress. If there is more burden stuffed on them, they will exhausted easily
especially a sports need a lot of energy and efforts.
