Archbishop Fr William D'Souza (SJ)
while addressing the 25th regional conference of the Association of
Schools for the Indian School Certificate (ASISC), Bihar and Jharkhand,
which kicked off on Friday with the theme "Technology in education and value system".
The programme was inaugurated by Amarjeet Sinha, principal secretary, education, who was the chief guest. Fr D'Souza graced the occasion as the guest of honour.
Amarjeet Sinha greeted the gathering of school administrators and shared anecdotes from his school life. "School is an institution to maximize human potential." Elucidating on the theme of the meeting, he added, "No technology can bridge the human gap" and assured all government support to ensure development of children.
Fr D'Souza congratulated the association on its silver jubilee and said, "Principals should always be ready for any eventuality." He said, "The topic of discussion is very pertinent as there has always been a debate regarding the system of education," adding "The prime role of education is to pave way for demanding and highly specialized careers, but it also aims to broaden the students' perspectives."
Mary Alphonsa, zonal coordinator, ASISC, and principal, Don Bosco Academy, Patna, welcomed the guests, saying, "It is a privilege to host the event in its 25th year. The association was founded in April 1987 and has grown from strength to strength. The future of our children will depend on our vision."
Earlier, the day started with a prayer song by the students of Don Bosco Academy, invoking the Almighty's blessings for a fruitful day. It was followed by a welcome dance by the girls of Mount Carmel High School, Patna.
Other distinguished guests on the first day of the two-day event were chairman, Indian Schools Certificate Examination, New Delhi, Rev Jose Aikara, founder-secretary of the association A G de Rozario, founder member Fr Hilary Lobo, ASISC secretary Christopher Francis and principals of various ICSE/ISC schools of Bihar and Jharkhand.
