29th August, School News Headlines Today: The morning assembly has been a religiously honoured tradition in schools for a long time and is still continuing. Every morning, students and teachers congregate to attend the assembly and indulge in various activities.
The format of the school assembly has remained largely unchanged over time but does vary slightly from school to school. The principal or some other senior head speaks a few words, students read the top news headlines of the preceding day, and role plays, talent shows and debates are organized.
Prayers, physical exercise and singing the national anthem can also be included in the morning school assembly. But it’s the news reading that’s considered the necessity of any school assembly. It helps inform the students about global and domestic happenings and improves their general knowledge.
