Participating as the chief guest at the Mega Parents-Teachers Meet at Sarada ZP High School here on Friday, Mr. Kalyan said that parents and teachers should have cordial relations. He found that a better atmosphere between them will lead to a more positive outlook among children. He advised the students not to take the punishments given by the teachers to heart and urged them to consider the same as a blessing to attain exalted positions as the teachers never intended to harm them.
Teachers don’t just impart lessons, they pave the way for students’ futures, he said. He warned both teachers and students to beware of attempts to politicize school affairs and the occupation of school land, which often leaves them without playgrounds.
Mr. Kalyan said that he found that the school did not have enough books in the library and promised to provide a large number of books in Telugu, English and Hindi to enrich the knowledge of the students. He commissioned officials to create a plan for the playground. He urged the students to try to achieve great heights in life by emulating great personalities like APJ Abdul Kalam who rose from humble beginnings to become India’s Missile Man.
Teachers should focus properly on the behavior of the students and ensure that they do not become addicted to substances like drugs and ganja which would destroy their lives, Mr. Kalyan added while expressing the government’s commitment to expand school infrastructure and improve educational standards. The government has pledged to spend millions of rupees to improve educational outcomes and will ensure accountability for every rupee spent.
MLA Prathipati Pulla Rao, Guntur ZP Chairperson Kathera Christina, Director of Secondary Education P Ranjit Basha, Panchayat Raj Commissioner MVR Krishna Teja, Palnadu District Collector Krithika Shukla, Principal Ratnajyothi and School Parent Committee President Dhanalakshmi were among those present.
