Lokesh Wants AP Education System to Become a Role Model for India
Students should be coached in these subjects, so that they are able to achieve cent per cent results.
Vijayawada:Education, IT and Electronics minister N. Lokesh has called for changes in AP’s education system, so that the model of education in Andhra Pradesh becomes the role model for entire India.
Inaugurating a newly built building for the Zilla Parishad High School at a cost of ₹1.4 crore with support extended by donors under the P4 scheme at Kokkiligadda village in Mopidevi mandal of Krishna district on Wednesday, Lokesh said his ambition is to formulate a model of education system in AP that becomes a role model for India. In this regard, he sought support from teachers, parents, and officials to work collectively towards building an ideal model of education in the state.
The minister said in the last two years, the state government has initiated several reforms in its education system. It has developed basic amenities in schools. Hardware like infrastructure and software like learning outcomes in schools have been improved. However, he felt the need for teachers to improve the learning outcomes further.
Lokesh laid stress on improving the learning capability of students based on formative and summative test results. He said bridge course material will be provided to students who lag behind in studies. He advised teachers to pay attention to subjects in which they find their students weak. Students should be coached in these subjects, so that they are able to achieve cent per cent results.
The minister advised teachers to reach him through the LEAP app in case they find problems in their day-to-day functioning, instead of going to the concerned MEOs and DEOs to get them resolved. He expressed his wish to organise state-level parent-teacher meetings on July 16, 17 and 18. He asked teachers to familiarise parents of students with the LEAP app. This would help all stakeholders in the education system to be on the same page, so that they could work as a team and achieve the best results.
In a lighter vein, Lokesh said if the students study well and get good marks, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu would give him (Lokesh) good marks for his performance. The minister said if the students failed to get good marks, the CM would give him minus marks.
Later, the minister had darshan and offered special prayers at the Subramanyeswara Swamy Temple in Mopidevi.
