Yes.

Students should be allowed to read their Bible during time at school for the following reasons:

'Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed,rightly dividing the word of truth'. Whn student take time at school to read,and study the Bible, line-upon lines, precepts-upon precepts, they would have a thorough understanding of God's word, which would shape their life both in School, and anywhere they go.

Since students spend most times in School, its right for them to read the Bible, so as to have quality time reading.

Reading the Bible in group,also makes it easy for proper and adequate understanding. They can share,ask question, and have fun together studying the word of God.

The Bible says, Children obey your parent in the Lord,for this is right. Honor thy father and mother that your days may be long on earth', When students read that portion,and many other together in School, they would both deliberate,comment and have a better understanding of scriptures,which would affect and impact their life in a better way.

Research made it known that the 'Bible is the world's best seller. It has been estimated that between 1815 and 1975, about 2,500 million copies of the Bible were printed. Each year approximately 100 million Bibles or parts of Bibles are distributed. These are staggering numbers when compared with the very few books which ever sell just one million copies. The best-selling novel ever has only sold about 30 million copies over a period of more than 20 years. What is it that makes the Bible consistently out-sell every other book ever produced? It does it every year, and has done so for hundreds of years.

The Bible also holds the record for being translated into more languages than any other book. At the end of 1993, the whole Bible had been translated into 337 languages and at least one book of the Bible had been translated into 2062 languages. This means that almost any person on earth can have access to the Bible and read or hear the words which have changed the course of history so often. The main groups involved in this work of translation, printing and sale have been the Bible Societies.

No other book is so widely quoted or so widely studied. More books are written about the Bible than any other book.'

Since the Bible is the best book ever, its important to make students get involve in reading and sharing the word of God.
