What does school mean to kangpar lsss

Every school personnel should be aware and understand what a school is for. A school management should understand the purpose of the school and accordingly develop values and attitudes that enable the school to fulfill its mission.

1.     A society needs a school to educate its children. While the society sustains the school, its educational programme and overall development groom its children.

2.    A school is supported by the society. The children learn skills, values and attitudes during the school life and graduate into the higher educational institutions for advance studies to become productive citizens.

3.   The school has its own social life and sets of rules and regulations. Different people live within the organization with specific roles and responsibilities.

The school management has to understand that the school is established for a noble purpose. It must create a system to guide its personnel towards fulfilling the objectives of the school.

Schools have vital roles to play in molding students intellectually, morally, socially and culturally. Those are the aspirations of our King, Country and its People, which we proudly refer to as the “Tsa-Wa-Sum”. Everyone in the education system must fulfill its sacred duty, as mandated by the Ministry of Education through its policy directives.

To make all the school personnel understand what the school is for, an orientation day will be organized. A formal induction Programme will help the teachers and the students to:

       1.   Understand the school culture.

       2.  Know how the staffs and students are expected to function.

      7.    Know the law of the land.
