 many are of the opinion that it is the pivotal role of schools to provide their students with the skills essential for their social life. I strongly believe that the more effort we make from both sides the better results we have on the way to building a prosperous and benevolent community. It goes without saying that

 they encounter a lot of different social situations which they have to cope with and rely solely on their own abilities and traits with no

 get a strong moral basis in their early childhood, they will never be worthy and reputable members of society. Only when moral principles are etched in a child’s mind can we speak about developing a reliable and dependable personality welcomed in any community.
