M.Ed. (Education Management) / Participation in extra-curricular activities ensures that pupils receive a balanced and comprehensive education. Involvement in sport and cultural activities definitely contributes to the formation of a positive self-concept and leadership development. Opportunities have to be created for scholars, by their coaches, to facilitate self-discovery whilst participating in sport and cultural activities. Extra-curricular activities also give rise to improved physical health, intellectual and spiri tual developmen t. It is essential for teachers to make certain sacrifices in order to enable scholars to achieve and develop in extra-curricular activities. In accordance with the policy of the organised teaching profession, a teacher is regarded as a professional person. Remuneration in exchange for a professional service comprises an all-inclusive package. Additional remuneration has never been recommended for teachers in respect of extracurricular activities as part of their broader job description. This rigid viewpoint is paradoxical if one bears in mind that teachers employed at schools for gifted children do,. in fact, receive additional remuneration for their involvement in these specialised'activities. As a result of rationalisation, larger classes make it more difficult for the teacher to participate in extra-curricular activities. Any sacrifices that are made by the teacher should be rewarded. Additional remuneration is also justified by the presence of the many risk factors that could be involved. Legal action could, for example, be instituted against a teacher who was guilty of negligence whilst coaching a particular activity. South Africa differs from many Western countries as far as the presentation of extra-curricular activities are concerned. These activities are usually supervised by teachers at the school. The teachers involved are expected to accept this additional responsibility without any extra remuneration.

M.Ed. (Education Management) / Participation in an extra curricular activity is today no superfluous luxury, but an imperative social establishment, because, not only does it afford pupils the opportunity to enhance their cultural and educational development, it also presents the school with the opportunity to render a most important service in the task of educating the child to his/her full potential. It also affords the pupil the opportunity for relaxation and this in turn promotes academic progress and has a beneficial effect on the child's self esteem. Extra curricular activity also implies that pupils are enabled to equip themselves for two important dimensions of their adult lives, namely labour and leisure time and it therefore constitutes a indispensable part of the pupils' educational experience. Participation in extra curricular activities thus forms an important basis for socialisation and contributes towards the overall growth of the pupil. Teachers are best qualified to cultivate the potential of pupils, not only in the classroom, but also on the sport field. It is therefore essential that teachers, and not outside persons, be utilized to develop the full potential of pupils, also in the field of extra curricular activities. Teachers have in the past assumed the responsibility of training and coaching pupils. The organized teaching profession has, however, also in the past paid homage to the view that a teacher is a professional person, who receives an all inclusive remuneration for his or her services as professionals practitioner.
