Life on the School Assembly

The school assembly is a co curricular activity in the school. It is the design of the school authorities to strengthen the core curriculum and seasons the extracurricular activity in the school. Its emphases are discipline, standard and integrity. The assembly in the school is a natural ecological habitat of students in all the primary and post primary institutions. It is the largest population centre of the whole school. The students, their teachers, the school management and the non teaching staff, all are present on the assembly, at the same time and for the same purpose. The school assembly is the first meeting point for the students and the school authorities. It is a place designed for starting the work of the day. This is the norm and culture of all the schools where the school assembly is observed every day. It is equally an intermediate institution between the home and the school. The student comes from home in the morning with ignorance and rawness. The main work of the authorities is how to completely expunge ignorance and rawness from the life of the student. This is done on daily basis, through gradual replacement of ignorance with established knowledge and rawness with scholastic articulation. A lot happen on the school assembly that we do not take note. I am sure that a lot of these truths would be discovered in this book. This would change our perception of the assembly and make us to appreciate the wisdom of the school authorities.
