Education Builds Students Think, Act on their Own

The private sector and social service organisations have to donate towards cutting-edge information technology available to all school students, said Director of School Education P. Perumalsamy.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of a classroom block at Government Model Higher Secondary School, Lady Wellingdon campus under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, here on Monday, he said, “The Government has been focusing more on education through new initiatives. But the goal of education for all will be attained only with sustain of all stakeholders in the society.”

Member of Parliament Kanimozhi inaugurated the block of six classrooms. “The system of education should give the students an chance to think, and act on their own with creativity”. She advised the students to make proper use of the government contribution in education and health of the students.

Mr. Perumalsamy asked organisations such as the Madras Knights Round Table 181, which organized the function, to contribute for computerization of schools. He said mathematics lab would be set up in 100 schools this year. “We have established complaints against 116 schools for collecting capitation fee,” he said. “The Department of School Education has sent notices to the schools that have desecrated the rules,” he said. A free medical screening camp for school students was organized as part of the function.
