Theatre personality Prasanna said here on Sunday, September 24, that theatre education enriches learning and was an important component in the personality development of children and hence should be part of the curriculum.
He was speaking at the valedictory of the national children’s theatre festival at Kirurangamandira in Mysuru city.
Mr. Prasanna said every school and Anganwadi should have theatre education as part of the curriculum as it was theatre alone which enlivened learning and make it more meaningful. He said the demand for theatre education was not something new and it was already accepted in the educational system but what was lacking was the implementation part.
