This year's Mega Parent Teacher Meeting (PTM) on Friday in 1,041 Delhi Government schools became a huge success. After introducing the concept in Government schools last year, Mega PTMs have assumed an important platform for interaction between teachers and parents in Delhi's Government schools. The turnout of parents and children in Friday's PTMs across the city was very encouraging.
Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia visited several Government schools in Hari Nagar and Shakti Nagar to interact with parents, children and teachers.
After his interactions, he said "It is evident that the parent teacher interaction which the Government aimed to institutionalise through Mega PTMs has been achieved. We are happy that this exercise, which used to be limited to big private schools, has now become an integral part of the culture of Government schools. I congratulate all Principals and teachers for making this Mega PTM a success."
Delhi Government Mega PTMs have attained a special importance in Delhi. The Government reached out to the parents of children studying in Government schools through FM radio and newspaper ads, in which the Education Minister himself invites parents to schools. Schools have been directed to warmly welcome all parents by offering them refreshments. In Friday's PTM as well, the festive atmosphere was on display, with school gates decorated and welcome parties of school children standing in school lobbies to welcome parents into the school.
