Education department mandates daily news reading in morning assembly

A Spokesperson of Education department today here said that, following the directives of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the department has issued written instructions to all Deputy Directors to ensure the mandatory implementation of daily news reading during morning assemblies in government schools. This decision follows the Chief Minister’s recent surprise visit to the Government Senior Secondary School in Baga Sarahan, Kullu district. During his interaction with students, the Chief Minister expressed dissatisfaction over their general awareness level of the students and emphasized the importance of equipping students with practical knowledge alongside their academic curriculum. He stressed that such initiatives are crucial in preparing students for competitive examinations and real-world challenges.

He said that to this end, the department has issued detailed guidelines aimed at enhancing students general knowledge, critical thinking and communication skills. He said that all school heads have been instructed to ensure the regular availability of both English and Hindi newspapers in their institutions. He said that these resources are intended to help students improve reading comprehension, vocabulary and pronunciation, while  encouraging public speaking and confident participation in assemblies.

The spokesperson further said that this initiative is a step towards fostering a habit of staying informed and developing a deeper engagement with current affairs, thereby promoting the all-round development of students. In an increasingly interconnected world, this step would ensure that our students are well aware of the current events, both nationally and globally.
