Livingstone Foundation International observes annual day

The occasion was attended by parents, guardians, well-wishers and special invitees along with management, mentors, staff members and students, stated a press release from the Information Desk, LFI.
LFI Chairman, Dr Andrew Ahoto Sema in his message underscored the importance of skill development in the students apart from academics. He called upon the parents and guardians to shift their focus from the traditional education emphasising on rote memory to a more vibrant, diverse skill based education system, holistic and conceptualised education system whereby students can shine not only in their studies but also can develop their career in other areas like sports, music, fine arts, crafts, etc.
Dr Andrew remarked that right from the inception, LFI has always strived for a conceptual teaching and learning system wherein the varied intelligences of the students are identified and nurtured from their childhood so that they are able to become thought leaders in the right perspective instead of just following the crowd.
Keeping this very factor in mind, LFI introduced the Cambridge International Curriculum for the formative level to blend and enhance through this international curriculum thereby making it easier for students to excel more in all round activities.
