Students in all public and private schools are now required to read newspapers during morning assembly as part of a new initiative launched by the Haryana School Education Board. The purpose of this decision is to keep students informed about current events and to improve their intellectual capacity.
Board Secretary Munish Nagpal has issued letters to all District Education Officers regarding this new directive. The guidelines state that students must read newspaper articles aloud to their entire class during the morning assembly period.
Under this new system, different students will be assigned daily duties to read newspapers and share the information with their classmates, similar to how prayers are conducted. The responsibility will rotate among students to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to participate.
Teachers have been given specific responsibilities in this initiative. They must guide students to select appropriate news articles from various newspapers that will help improve their intellectual capacity and general knowledge. Based on teacher guidance, students will read newspapers within the designated time frame.
To ensure proper implementation, education officials will conduct surprise inspections during morning assemblies in both government and private schools. During these visits, they will test students' general knowledge and assess their understanding of current events.
The education board is confident that this program will help students become more knowledgeable about current events and improve their public speaking abilities. Students will remain informed about significant events occurring in their community if reading the newspaper is a regular part of the school day.
