News India Live, Digital Desk: We often see that today’s children have knowledge about the world, they know what is happening in Europe or the history of America. But if you ask him, “Son, who was the great king of your own kingdom?” or “How are the rivers and mountains of your state?”, many times they don’t have an answer. To overcome this deficiency, the Assam government has taken a heart-pleasing and very important decision.
Big change for class 6 to 8
The Assam government has made a new rule for all the schools in the state. Now Class 6, 7 and 8 For children studying in History and Geography of Assam Reading has been made compulsory. This means that now it will not be “optional”, but every child will have to read and understand it.
Why did the government take this step?
The Chief Minister of Assam and the Education Department believe that education is not just about rote learning or passing. Education is that which connects a person to his land. The government wants that when a child leaves school, he should know how great is the culture of Assam, what is the geography like here and what has been the struggle of our ancestors.
What will be the benefits of this?
- Proud of your identity: When children read in detail about heroes like Lachit Borphukan or the geographical location of Assam, their respect for their state will increase.
- Strong Foundation: Before knowing the world, it is important to know your home. This decision will strengthen the foundation of children.
- Interesting reading: Children will also find reading local stories and things around them more fun than memorizing foreign history.
Message for parents
If you live in Assam and your child is between 6th to 8th class, then get ready. This change is not a burden on children, but an effort to make them ‘responsible and knowledgeable’. This step shows that for development it is necessary to be modern, but one should not forget one’s roots.
So, welcome this new initiative, where children will now find and understand ‘their Assam’ in books.
