31st August, School News Headlines Today: The morning assembly has been a religiously followed tradition in schools for a long time and continues to be even today. Every morning, students and teachers gather together to attend the assembly and indulge in various fun activities.
The format of the school assembly has remained largely unchanged over the years but does tend to vary slightly from school to school. The principal or some other senior head speaks a few words, and students read the top news headlines and organize role plays, talent shows and debates.
Prayers, physical exercise and singing the national anthem can also be a part of the morning school assembly. But it’s the news reading that’s considered a must in any school assembly. It helps inform the students about global and domestic happenings and increases their general knowledge.
You can check out the latest news headlines for 31 August to be read during the assembly below.
