Over 2 crore to participate in Mega PTM 2.0 event in A.P.
Spearheaded by Education Minister Nara Lokesh, the programme aims to bring students, teachers, parents, school management committees, donors, alumni, and government officials together under one platform to engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of school education.
The flagship event will be held on Thursday at the Zilla Parishad High School, Kothacheruvu, in Puttaparthi Assembly constituency, and will be attended by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Mr. Lokesh, who will directly interact with students, parents, and teachers.
Statewide celebration
The State government has transformed this initiative into a Statewide celebration. The programme will be conducted in 61,000 educational institutions, including government, aided, unaided schools, and junior colleges. Participants include 74,96,228 students, 3,32,770 teachers, 1,49,92,456 parents and donors, adding up to a staggering 2.28 crore people coming together in what is expected to be a record-breaking community event in the education sector.
What was once a norm limited to private and corporate schools — the PTMs — are now being mainstreamed into the public education system. Under the stewardship of Mr. Lokesh, the government has institutionalised the Mega PTM as an annual event. Now in its second year, the PTM has evolved into a State festival that bridges the gap between schools and families.
The PTM 2.0 will offer parents insights into their children's academic progress, behavioural development, and social awareness. In a major step towards transparency and inclusivity, the government will be distributing comprehensive progress cards to parents during the event.
The forum will also allow parents to share feedback and suggestions with the government. Discussions on school infrastructure, teaching quality, and student welfare are expected to take centre stage during this day-long engagement.
The initiative not only reinforces the government's commitment to educational reforms, but also sets a national benchmark in participatory governance in the school system, according to a press release.
