The role of a school in a child’s development begins as early as pre - school and continues throughout his/her life. Some consider parents to be a child’s first teachers while teachers are his/her second parents.
A child spends as much time in school as he/she spends with his/her parents. A school provides a structured education to the child and promotes his/her mental and psychological growth.
Apart from learning academics, a child also learns other important life skills such as teamwork, good manners, unity, sharing, and responsibility.
The kind of training that he/she receives at school forms and enhances his/her character that stays with him/her throughout his/her life.
The school provides a child varied opportunities which enable him/her to discover his/her innate talents and develop them. All of these experiences help to develop a child’s interests, build self - esteem and shape the course of his/her later academic and professional life.
