Villagers have been campaigning in favor of government schools to improve the enrollment of the students in their schools in Lokeshwar mandal.

Government teacher R. Venu of Adilabad said, “parents should take the lead to protect the government schools and strengthening them the teachers will follow them”.

Teachers of government schools have launched a campaign in the villages highlighting the facilities available at their schools and highly qualified teachers and other provisions like mid-day meal, school uniforms, and no fees.

Some of the government teachers distributing pamphlets with the information highlighting the facilities and explaining how government schools are best compared to private schools and taking out rallies to create awareness among the people about the advantages of the government schools.

People of some villages passing resolutions demanding the state government to introduce the English medium in the government school in their village to reduce the financial on the parents sending their children to private English medium schools and also save the strengthen the government school in the larger interests.
