Some religious groups in Kerala have expressed concern about the government’s government’s plan to present the dance-based fitness program, Zumba in schools. He argued that “Western imports” would adversely affect morality.
The State Education Department recently decided to teach students Zumba in all schools as part of the efforts to remove students from drug abuse and violence and improve their physical and mental fitness. Last month, before the beginning of the current academic year, the Education Department trained teachers as part of their annual refresher programs.
However, Abdul Samad Pokkotor, a prominent cleric related to the Samastha, known for a clerical body, known for the amil stand, said: “Zumba is harmful to the moral life of students. Prayer is the best for mental welfare. We also have it.
Another cleric, Nazar Faizi Jumpthai said that students should not be forced into “vulgarity”.
“If well -built students are also forced to wear minimal clothes and dance with opposite sex, it is highly disappointing. Instead of starting Zumba, let the government focus on physical training programs. The students should not be forced into vulgarity,” he said.
The student wing of the Indian Union Muslim League, Muslim Students Federation also came out against the verdict. IUML state president PK Navs said, “It was unilaterally introduced in schools without a study.”
Presiding over a meeting convened to address the increasing incidence of adolescent violence and drug abuse, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had suggested the idea of ​​presenting Zumba in schools to reduce tension and make students more active.
