Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s Strategic Decisions on Government Schools
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has made significant decisions regarding government schools. He directed relevant officials not to shut down single-teacher schools due to low student enrollment.
₹2,000 Crore Allocated for School Infrastructure Reconstruction
During an awards ceremony for students, organized by the Vandemataram Foundation at Ravindra Bharathi, Revanth Reddy highlighted the government’s commitment to enhancing educational infrastructure. He pointed out that the previous government’s neglect of basic amenities in schools caused severe inconvenience for students. The Congress government aims to provide education to every village and hamlet, ensuring no school closures. A mega DSC is being conducted, with notifications for 11,000 posts released. Education and agriculture commissions will soon be established to address ongoing issues.
Rebuilding School Infrastructure
The government has initiated projects worth ₹2,000 crore to reconstruct school buildings. To encourage student enrollment, the ‘Acharya Jayashankar Badi Bata’ program has been launched. Responsibilities, from midday meals to uniforms, have been assigned to women’s associations, which also manage Amma Adarsha Schools. Funds are being released through a green channel.
Prominent Figures from Government Schools
Revanth Reddy emphasized that leaders like Modi, Chandrababu, and himself are products of government schools. He noted that 90% of IAS and IPS officers also studied in these institutions. The Vandemataram Foundation reminded everyone of their responsibilities through such initiatives, proving that government school students can excel with determination.
Focus on Semi-Residential School Model
The government is considering implementing a semi-residential model in government schools. Proposals include providing breakfast, lunch, and evening snacks. Studies revealed that fully residential schools might weaken parent-child relationships. Officials were instructed not to neglect schools in rural areas. Investing in education is not an expense but an investment that benefits society, according to the Chief Minister. He distributed awards to students from various districts, emphasizing the community’s trust in government schools and the need for their development, as highlighted by Vandemataram Foundation’s founder, Ravinder.
Student Achievements in Government Schools
Students proudly achieve top GPAs, countering the mockery of attending government schools. Bhavanakriti, a student from Warangal’s Krishna Colony Girls High School, requested the Chief Minister to introduce IIT and JEE foundation courses in government schools, similar to private institutions. She also urged for better midday meal programs and extensive transportation facilities.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s initiatives and the ongoing improvements in government schools reflect a commitment to providing quality education and supporting students’ academic and personal growth.
