Hyderabad: Government schools across Telangana will conduct monthly parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) on Saturday, September 19.
The Telangana School Education Department and Samagra Shiksha will organise the meetings across government and local body schools, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) and Telangana Model Schools in every mandal and district.
The theme for this month’s PTM is “Partnering with Parents, Powering Every Child’s Learning.”
Parents to discuss students’ performance
During the meeting, headmasters, teachers and parents are going to discuss students’ academic performance and foundational learning. They will also identify areas where students may need additional academic support.
Issues such as absenteeism and measures to maintain student enrolment will also be discussed during the meetings.
Parents will be encouraged to take part in school development programmes, campus maintenance and other educational activities.
Telangana schools asked to ensure parent participation
For the meeting, the headmasters have been instructed to send written invitations to parents through students.
Schools have been given freedom to choose meeting timings that are convenient for parents. In rural areas, seasonal agricultural activities will be considered while scheduling the meetings. Schools in urban areas have been asked to consider the working hours of daily wage workers and service-sector employees.
