Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has said that there should be no Gram Panchayat in the State without a government school.
“Every GP should have a school, whether it is a small village or a tribal hamlet,” Mr. Reddy said at a review meeting on school education at the Secretariat on Sunday. “Boys and girls should not be forced to travel to neighbouring villages or nearest towns to pursue education,” he said.
He also wanted all the schools that were closed on the pretext of zero students to be re-opened with immediate effect. “Irrespective of the number of students in schools, these institutions should run,” he said, adding that a mega DSC teachers recruitment would be conducted shortly to fill up vacancies.
