Our history depicts how young people willingly sacrificed all of their opportunities and committed their entire lives to become freedom fighters for a brighter future for our nation in which people are not oppressed by British Rule. On this day, we remember and honor these brave rebels and their struggle for freedom. In this manner, students learn about their sacrifices, and as a result, they become better prepared to take responsibility for their own actions.

Students that are grateful become more compassionate, humble and responsible. They have the potential to become more civilized and well-mannered citizens of the country. A civilized citizen is a solid foundation for a better society. We must ensure that our students are taught civic duty in order to establish a stronger nation.

When students play a role or perform a dance or a song, they do more than just pay tribute or show gratitude, they put in efforts to help the audience understand their gratitude to the nation.

In this case, good values and morals can be learned from our past, when people strived harder for freedom. Students must understand these principles in order to teach them. All of these years of celebrating Independence Day in school have made pupils familiar with these concepts. This is how we nurture students to be good leaders.

8. Appreciating Freedom and Democracy

They should be honest about their duties. They should be humble and willing to help others. To build a democratic society we need to educate our students.
