Principal Secretary, School Education, Praveen Prakash has expressed displeasure over “gaps in the implementation of Jagananna Vidya Kanuka” at some places.
Referring to a few schools in the Tenali municipality of Guntur district, where he visited on Saturday and found these gaps, Mr. Praveen Prakash directed the District Education Officers and Mandal Education Officers across the State to effectively monitor implementation of the scheme and ensure that every child gets the school kits.
To fix accountability, he said he would make random phone calls to around 50 parents across the State to check if their children had received all the items under Vidya Kanuka. “If there are cases of students not receiving the kit or any of the items in the kit, the District and Mandal Education Officers will have to furnish an explanation for the same by July 5,” he warned.
