Nicaraguan Students
Ordered To Sing National
Anthem Every Day
MANAGUA - Students at
all public and private
schools in Nicaragua
will be required to sing
the national anthem
every day, according to
a decree issued Monday
by the country's leftist
Sandinista government.
The decree was set to
come into force Tuesday
across the country and
would be strictly
monitored, Education
Minister Miguel de
Castilla said at a press
conference.
The minister explained
that in recent years
Nicaraguan youth have
lost respect for
'symbols' of the
homeland, and the move
was aimed at 'recovering
traditions.'
The national anthem will
have to be sung daily
before lessons start in
all classes at
pre-school, primary
education and secondary
education centres, De
Castilla said.
He warned that
authorities would punish
students and teachers
who do not abide by the
new rule.
