The Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa said here on Sunday, September 24, that teachers of residential schools should focus on imparting quality education to students.
He was speaking at a workshop organised by the Mysuru district administration, Zilla Panchayat, Department of Social Welfare etc. for principals of government residential schools.
The Minister said a majority of the students in such institutions are those from the economically weaker and socially backward section of society and education was the means to enhance their socio-economic conditions. Hence, the focus should be on imparting quality education, said Mr. Mahadevappa.
