NIE: A programme for the students.
The Joint Commissioner for Entrance Examinations S.N. Kumar has said that The Hindu News Paper in Education programme (NIE) adds value to education, enriches vocabulary, experience and communication skills.
The Joint Commissioner’s kudos came here at the launch of the NIE and a special newspaper subscription scheme for students at the MGM School, Akkulam, last week.
Continuing his inaugural speech, Mr. Kumar urged the students to read The Hindu especially its editorials on a daily basis. Your endeavour should be to learn three new words a day. Write down the words, learn its meaning and try to use it in your writings and conversation with your friends. At the end of the day the words will be imprinted in your mind,” he told the students. “By the end of the month you will have learned around 90 new words and within a year you will enrich your vocabulary by more than 1000 words,” he told the students.
V.J. John principal of the school stressed the significance of reading newspapers along with other text books.
The NIE programme meant for children from Stds. VII to IX, is aimed at increasing their proficiency in reading, writing, listening, speaking, mathematics, sciences and social studies.
