It is very unfortunate that, ill educated and semi educated persons like CBN and Pawan Kumar have sorrowfully found fault with our School Education System. As an internationally well reputed educationalist, I affirm that one must easily feel proud of our school education system in AP. My ecstatic and erudite disciples made an empirical study of the system by going about quite a few primary schools and have come out with the solid conclusions. According to them, the Vidya Kanuka kit provided to children has brought about marked changes in the learning of the pupils. Recently the Head Master of a school said that the children in his school (Jayapuram village, Kuderu Mandal, Anantapur District) have learnt effortlessly about 250 words within 6 months period Moreover AP Government rightly feels that education is an asset that can bring marked results that would have tremendous results on our economy. The mid day meals scheme which has one laurels at the International level as thoroughly tasty food of nutrition is provided to our peoples. In fact, I once visited the school and observed carefully the dining room of the children and easily envied them as I do not eat daily such type of nutritious food. The schools are very well provided with all amenities like toilet and potable water. Recently a few established educationalist from the USA visited some schools in Eluri and meticulously inspected the running of the school which drew their attention amazingly. Besides the following the National Education Policy the AP Government has been providing all major facilities like Ammavadi, Vidyakanuka etc which take care of a child till he gets a decent job after having earned a fertile degree. To put it in a nutshell almost digitalization has taken place in most of our Government schools which are being emulated by even private schools in AP. The swing now is from private convents to Government schools. Unfortunately, the parents are indulging corrupt practices as the money deposited towards Ammavadi is being used for their petty jewellery ear rings etc. So, I appeal to the participants in Indian democracy to lend a helping hand in making our School Education system a tremendous success. Hope other State Governments in our country would soon emulate the AP system and mold their students in giving knowledge based education. What comments do you make on the free tabs distributed by the AP top leader to our students? I entreat the intellectuals to offer their judicious impartial objective and realistic comment on my analysis. Looking forward hearing from the AP voters.
