It should also be holistic in nature so as to broaden the thought and sharpen the minds of the students,” Mooshahary said, emphasising that sports and games should be part of the syllabus besides inclusion of vocational training at the school level.
Guest of honour Ms Ampareen Lyngdoh said every student should have equal access to quality education and called upon teachers to develop their leadership quality and understand that nation building is an important concept in school.
