Women teachers have a major role in education: Arjun

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Union Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh on Tuesday emphasised the role of women teachers in the learning process at the valedictory function of the "Education For All" programme organised at National Bal Bhavan here.

About 20 teams from across the country participated in the three-day programme on the theme "Every Child Needs a Teacher".

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Singh laid special emphasis on the value of women teachers as they could play a major role in encouraging the girl child to continue their education.

The Minister expressed satisfaction over the fact there was a decline in the number of non-school-going children after the "Education For All" programme was started a few years ago.

The children presented a cultural programme and also took a pledge to go to school regularly, inspire others to go to school, remove gender discrimination, conserve nature and make India a prosperous nation.
