A Mega Parent–Teacher Meeting was organised at a school in Parvathipuram Manyam district, where Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Minister Nara Lokesh, and MLA Nimmaka Jayakrishna were present.
A large gathering of parents, teachers and students was witnessed during the event.
Education’s Role in Building a Strong Society Highlighted
During his address, Minister Nara Lokesh stated that a major contribution from society has been received, and through education, that debt can be repaid.
It was also mentioned that CM Chandrababu Naidu has always believed that the nation’s future can be shaped from the classroom.
Furthermore, Lokesh stressed that many reforms must be introduced in the education system. He explained that the system can be strengthened only when everyone works together.
Focus on Improving Learning Standards
It was explained that the development of every region depends on a strong education policy.
Lokesh recalled that, like many students, fear was felt during Parent–Teacher Meetings in childhood, but today the concept has changed.
To promote values, spiritual scholar Chaganti Koteswara Rao was invited to speak to students.
It was shared that Chaganti advised students to avoid doing anything that cannot be told to their mother, and the message was appreciated.
Clean surroundings were also emphasised. According to Lokesh, maintaining cleanliness is a shared responsibility.
Child-Friendly Constitution and Mock Assembly Introduced
A special Child Constitution was created to help students understand their rights easily.
A mock assembly was conducted, and it was said that students discussed issues more effectively than legislators.
Additionally, some common expressions that insult women were highlighted. It was insisted that such words must never be used, and efforts are being made to remove them from learning material.
Reforms in Textbooks and Introduction of New Technologies
Lokesh mentioned that earlier textbooks carried pictures showing only women doing household work.
After the new government took charge, new images reflecting both men and women sharing responsibilities were included.
Clicker technology is being introduced, and a pilot project has been started at the Bhamini Model School.
Teachers and students will be sent to countries like Finland and England to study global education models.
The LEAP App has been launched, and parents will soon be given complete information about it.
Through this app, real-time updates on children’s learning will be accessed directly by parents.
Andhra Model to Be Implemented Within Two Years
It was announced that CM Chandrababu Naidu has directed the department to implement the Andhra Model of education within two years.
Lokesh assured parents that this goal will be achieved without fail.
The Deputy Chief Minister has been providing constant guidance, and regular discussions are being held on issues such as reforms, meals for students, and overall policy improvement.
Lokesh added that the Chief Minister, Deputy CM and the entire team are working with strong teamwork.
Appeal to Support Government Schools
Parents were urged not to look down upon government schools.
Lokesh requested everyone to admit children into government schools so that the hidden talent of many students can be brought to light.
