Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna today held a meeting with senior officials and public schools’ principals at the secretariat and called upon them to resolve all issues amicably so that the image of Dehradun as the centre of excellent school education was not affected in Dehradun on Monday.
He said that the schools authorities should follow the spirit of the RTE. CM also directed officials to ensure that necessary action was taken to maintain quality education in Dehradun.
He said the school management should create an environment for imparting quality education to students. If there was any complaint about a school, then the school would be asked for a written reply.
He said that in case the school did not reply or the reply was not satisfactory, further action would be taken.
He said that as far as raising the school fee was concerned, the school management should make everything clear at the time of admission to the parents. The principals also assured the CM Bahuguna that they would create an atmosphere conducive for education in their schools.
The CM said that unnecessary inquiry into schools’ functioning must be avoided as it disturbed the schools’ activities. Present at the meeting were Chief Secretary Alok Kumar Jain, Principal Secretary (Power) SSSandhu, Secretary (School Education) Manisha Panwar, DG Education PS Jangpangi, Additional secretary Radhika Jha and principals of various public schools.
