I reached this position because of my teachers: Keshava Rao

NIZAMABAD : Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Keshava Rao, MP, has observed that teaching in schools and colleges is not up to the mark.

Addressing a gathering of teachers, students and parents at the premises of MSR Junior College here after inaugurating its new building on Tuesday, Mr. Rao said it was the teacher who moulds children.

"If I reached this position it was because of my teachers," he said.

Mr. Keshava Rao said that till date about 60 per cent of students were dropping out at high school level indicating serious loopholes in the system.

Unless teaching was in tune with the needs of the nation, no change could be expected in society, he said.

Bajireddy Govardhan, MLA (Banswada), hailed the decision of the high power committee to establish the newly-sanctioned university at Dichpally area.

School secretary M. Vikram Reddy and DCC president G. Gangadhar also spoke.
