A major feature of the 7th National Curriculum can be summarized as `a quantitative expansion of the Extracurricular Activities(ECA)`. Some educators may think that problems in the subject education is a major cause of the expansion of ECA, and therefore consider ECA as the alternative education to the subject education. As far as ECA is considered as the alternative to the subject education, however, the subject education itself will surely be deteriorated, and the exact characteristic of ECA as the supportive educational activities to the subject education cannot be maintained any more. We need to identify/strengthen the right feature of ECA. In order to do that, we need to explain that `ritual` should become the base of ECA, and that there is a conceptual relation between ECA and the subject education.
