The Mega Parents-Teachers Meeting (Mega PTM 3.0) held at Bhamini Model School and Junior College in Palakonda, Parvathipuram Manyam district, turned into a vibrant festival-like event with a massive turnout of students and parents. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu received a warm welcome from Education and IT Minister Nara Lokesh upon arriving at the school campus. Together, they formally launched the Guaranteed FLN (Foundational Literacy and Numeracy) initiative in government schools. The Chief Minister and the Minister interacted with students and reviewed how the FLN app tracks learning abilities and progress reports. They also examined the Jadoo Pithaar and various FLN learning materials designed to enhance foundational education.
The Chief Minister and Minister Lokesh later visited key learning spaces, including the Sports Room, Skill and Learning Lab, and STEM Lab. They appreciated the achievements of students excelling in various sports and observed several innovative projects created by the children. The Chief Minister interacted with students, asked about their ideas, and posed for memorable photographs with them.
After the lab visits, the Chief Minister and Minister Lokesh held an interactive session with parents and teachers of Class 9 students. They reviewed attendance records, student progress reports, and sought feedback on teaching methods, school performance, and learning outcomes. They also enquired about the quality of mid-day meals under the Dhokka Seethamma scheme and the well-being of parents. The session concluded with group photos alongside parents and teachers.
