He said that various activities were taken up to improve and impart quality education to the students under the guidance of VMC Commissioner J Nivas. He said that they had introduced foundation course for slow learners and advance foundation course for merit students.

Admissions into municipal schools improved satisfactorily.

By introducing English medium in elementary schools, they attracted attention of parents.

However, on the first day of the academic year, students had no textbooks, which was the big drawback for the efforts put in by the teachers and education department officials to attract students.

Municipal, aided and Zilla Parishad schools under Vijayawada division did not receive the textbooks. The supply is expected to reach this week.
