The Competency-Based Curriculum gives special focus to individuals talents and interests as opposed to performance in summative national examinations. That cause competition, trauma and trepidation to the little children.
Parents and teachers want students to develop critical-thinking, problem-solving alongside  digital skills  so that they will be better prepared for the future jobs. It is true that children would love to play a lot in their young age. Involving in physical exercises, games, and sports activities make their body stronger and healthier. If the game of chess is also taught to the children, their brain would also be exercised and the children will become a healthy one – both physically and mentally, filled with confidence.

Blooms Taxonomy
At the heart of the ideals of HOT (Higher Order Thinking) and  Blooms's Taxonomy is the goal to improve every child’s cognitive development and critical thinking skills. No game or sport marries itself more naturally to the missions better than chess.
