797 Words Essay on If I were the Principal of a School

As Principal of a School, I shall give top priority to discipline and good conduct of the students. I shall not only rest with moralising from the pulpit but will also give them ample oppor­tunity and impetus to develop and create this important factor.

The first thing which an average student caters in a Higher Sec­ondary School is a spotless teacher. If the teacher is a hard­working and an intelligent sort of man then he is bound to create an impression on the students and that alone will maintain full discipline amongst them.

I shall see that the entire staff of my institution prove their worth by example and thus win admiration of the students. As a general rule good teachers always command respect and admiration even from the worst student.

The school will be made a study centre, a work-place, a place of entertainment, a place of character and body-building, a place of military career and above all a place where the students would work at leisure and subsidize their scanty family income. This I shall do by introducing a constructive scheme which provides manual work and remuneration.

I shall also start leather work, painting and drawing classes, to impart training to those students who might like to learn these arts and crafts, i shall make pro­vision for some economic return of the articles prepared by the students. I shall also start training in some crafts, and every student shall have to learn at least one.

These instructions and practical work would impart so much working knowledge to the students that they would be able to prepare articles of their own if they so choose even after school-career.

I shall also arrange for weekly lectures by eminent local and outside educationists and men of letters on subjects of literary, educational and practical importance.

I shall also fix up Student’s Meeting Days which will include folk-items also in the programme, which means recitation of folk-songs, playing of folk music, danc­ing, etc., and it will be the main part of it.

Full provision for games, sports and body-building will be made and it will be made compulsory for all the students. Military training will also be given immediate attention. It will be started with marching, P.T. and handling of arms and will culminate in proficiency in shooting.

I shall also prepare cadets for military services and shall recommend to the government to give them preference in selections. All this will be done under expert advice.

Swimming and horse riding, will be encouraged and the school will maintain its own tank and horses. Likes and excursions will be arranged and every year during Dushera and summer vacations there will be organised tours.

It will be aimed to enable th2 students together first hand information about the important places of the country and thus enrich their general knowledge.
