Why reading news matters for students
Including current affairs in school assemblies is more than just a routine. It helps students:
- Develop a sense of national and global awareness.
- Improve their speaking and presentation skills.
- Understand real-life examples linked to subjects like economics, geography, and civics.
- Build curiosity and independent thinking.
Many schools also encourage students to read, research, and present news themselves — an exercise that builds confidence and improves their ability to summarise and communicate effectively.
