He was speaking after inaugurating the District Educational Conference, Pratibha Puraskar and Felicitation Programme organised by Karnataka State High School Assistant Teachers’ Association, Bengaluru, Dakshina Kannada District Unit at Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Kala Bhavan on Saturday September 10. Teachers have been made part of the machine and not as teachers. If so, when will you get the result? He asked if it was possible to bring about a change in the education system and said that the society cannot prosper if the lives of those who work and eat are not built.
MLA Harish Poonja said, “Considering that the condition of the government school is grim, we have decided to have a perfect school in the constituency. In addition to government grants, we are developing the full school in a phased manner by bringing together school teachers, well-wishers and donors of the village. The reason for this has been made possible by the good-thinking teachers of our constituency. So two teachers have been awarded the state-level teacher award,” he said.
