Efforts are under way to improve the quality of public education by incorporating new technology, Public Works Minister G. Sudhakaran has said.
He was inaugurating the school Pravesanotsavam at the Government Higher Secondary School, Paravur.
The government was keen on educating children in their mother tongue in order to give emphasis on cultural identity.
Improved methods in education would disprove the propaganda that government schools and a curriculum in local language were inferior.
The Minister said there was opportunity for students to choose courses after passing out of school. A system to enlist the support of students in agricultural activities would help society a lot.
Atrocities against women had been rare in the bygone years when agriculture had a prominent place in society.
The Minister inaugurated a new building of the school, constructed with the funds of the district panchayat. An exhibition of photographs depicting the development projects initiated by the government during the past one year was organised at the school by the Information and Public Relations Department. Organ donation consent letters signed by teachers and school managing committee members were handed over to district panchayat vice-president Daleema Jojo.
Green protocol
The inaugural function was held in conformity with the green protocol followed by the district administration, by eliminating the use of plastic material. Steel utensils and glasses were used for giving water and porridge to the participants. Steel tumblers were bought for the purpose.
Tiffin boxes made of steel, purchased by senior students, were presented to LKG and UKG students. Flags and decorations were made of cloth, jute and other biodegradable material.
