Drama has a huge role in education. It can challenge students’ perceptions about their world and about themselves. It is also a means to develop students’ emotions, thoughts and ideas. It helps generate creativity and critical thinking amongst students. It also makes learning interactive as it encourages exploration of moral issues, societal problems and historical events from multiple angles. This type of learning has a lasting effect on students, preparing them for real-life situations.
