The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat has suggested that five schools in all the blocks of the State should be selected and developed as mini Rajiv Gandhi Navodaya Vidyalayas. He gave this suggestion while presiding over a review meeting of school education on late Tuesday night.
CM said that these selected primary schools should be provided at least five teachers with a teacher of English
language.
He said that this initiative would prove fruitful and would ensure that the student strength in the Government school is increased. Rawat was of the opinion that teachers should keep a regular dialogue with the parents of their students.
Emphasising the need for improving the standard education in the Government schools, the CM said that extra effort should be done in the schools located in the mountainous areas. He suggested that the help of anganwadis should be taken in class of I to III. Rawat said that primary schools should also emphasise on health of students apart from imparting education.
The meeting was attended by top officials of school education department and Chief Secretary Rakesh Sharma.
