Education Minister Botcha Satyanarayana on Wednesday met a team of 10 students from government schools who are headed to the United States to be part of a United Nations (UN) conference on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Congratulating the students on their selection for the exclusive week-long visit from September 14, the Minister said this was the first time that students of government schools were being sent on a State-sponsored exposure trip. This reflects the government’s commitment to uplift children belonging to poor and marginalised communities, he said. The students will attend the UN meet on September 16.
Commissioner of School Education S. Suresh Kumar and Director of Samagra Shiksha B. Srinivasa Rao complimented the students and explained to them the dos and don’ts to be followed during their stay in the US.
