Besides, holding competitions in quiz, essay and debate on patriotic themes; inviting veterans or freedom fighters to share their experiences, screening patriotic movies or documentary shows, creating a school display board on national issues and achievements, and asking students to design patriotic banners, logos or slogans will also be part of the new activity schedule in the schools.
