• An assembly is when the school community, or a part of it, meets together to share aspects of life that are of worth. It acts as a medium for communicating matters of significance from one generation to another.
• The motive of having an assembly in a school is:
• To develop a feeling of affiliation and unity among students.
• To acquaint students with the school programme more clearly.
• To develop in students a sense of identity with the school.
• To enable students to share their experiences, stories, anecdotes with others.
• To provide them training in good social behaviour desired in public life.
• To motivate students by positive reinforcement in the form of praise or rewards awarded in public
• To facilitate the moral and religious development of students.
• To facilitate national integration and secularism through all-religion prayer meetings among students.
