‘Akshara Theeram’, a comprehensive educational scheme initiated by Anwar Sadat MLA, will be instituted in 53 schools in five constituencies here on Tuesday.
Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister K V Thomas will inaugurate the scheme by distributing educational scholarships to 295 selected students. The project has been constituted to improve the standards of government schools and aided schools.
Akshara Theeram, once started rolling, will improve the educational facilities of the underprivileged students. There are many students who have talent but without enough support to prove themselves.
Quality education by and large is the aim of the project, Anwar Sadat said. Quality education comprises not only the bookish education but includes far more important aspects like friendly environment, students’ health, good library, lab, sports etc, he said.
