Leading Schools Towards Having Happy Class Rooms for Promoting Healthy Minds
Abstract
Schools are, generally, the second social institutions, after the family, with which the children remain deeply associated for about 14 to 15 years of their lives in their formative period. They join the schools at the age of about 3 years and remain connected up the age of 17 to 18 years of their age. It is during this period that the they lay foundation of their lives. They learn to read, write, speak formally, socialize and start developing skills - mainly the live skills. They largely shape their personality and attitude towards their lives and society in this period; and based on the grooming done in the schools that the children establish themselves as independent and responsible persons in their lives. It is, therefore, essential that the children get adequate and the right supports in their childhood in schools. Understandably, the happy class rooms, safe school environment and proper healthcare of the students - especially in their adolescence (10 to 19 years of age) – virtually promote their proper growth and development.
