Reforms aimed to improve students, not trouble teachers, says Jagan

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that all the reforms introduced in the education sector in the State are to restore the glory of government educational institutions and prepare the students, particularly those from socially and economically weaker sections, to face the competitive world.

Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was addressing a gathering of teachers at the Teachers' Day celebrations (Guru Pujotsavam) held in the city on Monday.

"We all should assess if the education sector is a liability or an asset and if it is being of any use for children or it exists just to issue certificates. The students from SC, ST, BC, minorities and other such communities are unable to compete with the world even after independence," he said.
