Hi! I want to answer one of your questions. Firstly I think that chess should be a part of the educational system. In my school, in primary education we had chess lessons every week, even though they weren’t quite helpful. But I think it must be a part of the curriculum as it helps with focusing, strategic thinking and sportsmanship. That’s it! Thank you for reading so far.👍🏆

Hi,
Chess in education builds focus, patience, and problem-solving skills, while NCVT ITI results open doors for students to turn technical training into real career opportunities. Together, they
show how learning whether through strategy or skills can shape a brighter future for
students.

My high school had a chess club that I participated in. I was friends with everyone there, but most of the people weren't super challenging to play. We mostly focused on having fun and joking around rather than taking the games super seriously.

Chess can be fun as an extracurricular but it doesn't offer much in terms practical life skills that will prepare you for adulthood. However, to be fair neither do advanced math courses. Putting chess in school can be a way to give the students a break from serious classes and allow them to have fun, so honestly, I wouldn't argue against it.

I think chess teaches students about consequences, how to plan, and to think through various options and hold multiple ideas in their head while evaluating each. Pretty useful stuff.
