1st September, School News Headlines Today: The morning assembly is a long-running tradition followed religiously in schools, and it’s still a thing today. Every morning, students and teachers gather together to attend the assembly.
The format of the school assembly has remained largely unchanged over the years but does tend to vary a bit 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, debates or other fun activities.
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 requisite 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 1 September to be read during the assembly below.
