Teachers turn to government schools for their own kids

Bhimavaram: Exuding confidence in quality of education imparted in government schools, a few teachers of government schools took first step of admitting their own children in government schools. They set an example for others to follow towards further strengthening of government school education in Veeravasaram mandal.

He admitted her in MRK ZP High School in Veeravasaram. Teacher K Acharyulu followed suit as he joined his son in Rayakuduru ZP High School.

Same is the case with Devireddi Pullarao who admitted his son and daughter in Rayakuduru high school. The craze for government schools never stopped there. Relangi High School teacher Yalla Venkateswararao believed in government school teaching quality as he persuaded his son take admission in his school.
