Activities during the celebration of National education day
Educational institutions at all levels across the country will celebrate November 11 as the ‘National Education Day’ in 2019. It should be done through seminars, symposia, essay-writing, elocution competitions, workshops and rallies with banner cards and slogans. They all should be done towards the importance of literacy and the nation’s commitment to all aspects of education.
The objective of celebrating National education day
The purpose of celebrating National Education Day should be to strengthen our educational institutions. It is to remind us to keep raising the quality of education to greater heights. It should be an occasion to remember Maulana Azad’s contribution majorly for two reasons. First, in laying the foundations of the education system in an independent India. Second, to evaluate our current performance in this field. So on this day, all people who are involved in the field of education should come together to seek ways to advance India’s prestige in the world, as a knowledge society and to focus on how to educate our people.
