Hyderabad: In an innovative effort to strengthen government schools, residents of Babapur village in Lakshmanachanda mandal of Telangana’s Nirmal district unanimously passed a resolution banning children from attending private schools.
The villagers met and passed the resolution to send all their children to government schools.
The decision stemmed from significant improvements in the educational standards and facilities of government schools.
Village sarpanch Padigela Lakshmi emphasised that quality education is vital for community development, noting that boosting enrollment would accelerate school improvement. Experienced teachers staff these institutions, which play a critical role in providing quality education to poor and middle-class families, he said.
The decision was widely accepted and appreciated, as many said it would set an example for other villages.
The community pledged to send children exclusively to government schools rather than private ones. This decision reflected a collective belief that local initiative is essential for the improvement of public education.
