Special attention will be given to the studies of children
The seating arrangement of students in the school will be done in such a way that weak students will be seated in the front seats, so that the teachers can focus more on them. The principal has been given the responsibility of ensuring that the school routine is running properly and homework is given and checked regularly by the teachers. Along with this, the principal will also be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the school and conducting regular inspections, so that the school facilities, such as kitchen and toilets, remain clean and hygienic.
