This study examines how co-curricular activities affect children’s social skills. Give children social skills like communication and self-confidence. Extracurricular activities build interpersonal skills, preparing students for academic success and character development. Social skills are crucial for student interaction. By allowing students to connect with instructors and classmates outside of the classroom, extracurricular activities foster social skills. Extracurricular activities develop tangible, intangible, metaphysical, and intellectual character traits. The second phase of the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB) emphasizes human capital development. Students build human capital by connecting with their environment, making friends, and learning outside of the classroom through leisure activities. It will also foster knowledge, innovation, and student growth. The purpose of this concept paper is to examine how extracurricular activities affect students' social skills and academic success. Extracurricular activities must be respected in Malaysian education
