Every morning, school assemblies begin with the latest news updates from India and around the world. This practice not only keeps students informed but also helps them develop a habit of following current affairs from a young age. Today’s news headlines for September 12 cover major national, international, sports and other important updates that are relevant for students and teachers alike.
I am writing about this topic because I strongly feel that school assemblies play a key role in shaping awareness among students. News is not just for adults; even schoolchildren benefit when they are introduced to important events happening in the country and across the globe. It improves their general knowledge, helps them in competitive exams later in life, and most importantly, makes them responsible citizens. By sharing today’s important news headlines, I want to make it easy for schools, teachers, and students to prepare for their morning assembly without spending much time searching different sources. These headlines will also help students build confidence while reading or presenting in front of others.
