School Improvement Mission launched in Guwahati Guwahati, Apr. 18. The Salesian Province of Guwahati flagged off DB-SIM ((Don Bosco School Improvement Mission)project on 16th April 2013 at DBI, Guwahati. The scope of the project is to improve the quality of the schools in the province, particularly those located in the rural areas.
Following the clarion call given by the Provincial, Rev. Fr. V.M. Thomas, all the Heads of Don Bosco Schools gathered at DBI for a two-day workshop along with 30 selected teacher-trainees of Don Bosco College of Teacher Education, Tura before officially launching this mission. The Provincial called on all the Salesian principals to return to Don Bosco, to the original charism and mission of working for the poor and the marginalized. He spoke of the pathetic condition in some of our schools where our children can hardly read, much less write or speak. He said that we are geared to this mission as a priority and wanted each and every principal to be passionate about this mission which calls for commitment, dedication, concerted effort and consistent planning. It is high time that we evaluate to see the output, outcomes and the impact of our services, he said. It terms of output, he clarified ''we are doing quite fine but when it comes to the other two aspects, we are far from satisfactory''.
