The School Education Department is conducting a mass awareness programme in all its 37,391 schools on March 20 to improve the participation of parents in School Management Committees (SMCs).
Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said in a press release that the department planned to revamp the functioning of the SMCs, particularly with increased participation from women.
Ahead of the awareness programme, the Minister launched a song by Arivu highlighting the importance of government schools and SMCs and a “video-on-wheels” campaign that will travel throughout the State to create awareness through cultural programmes. He released a mobile app to be used by the SMC members for their activities.
