Good morning friends. I may say that our children are really the hope of the future. Education is very important, that's why all parents should not take for granted the studies of their children.
Anusha B Hegde and Ashwini M of Government Junior College have bagged a prize for their project, `Eradication of Illiteracy'. They were among 14 winners awarded on Wednesday by Intel and the department of state education research and training. Seven schools, 14 teachers and 14 student groups were honoured for effective integration of technology in the teaching-learning process.
Anusha and Ashwini told TOI they were inspired by the movie, `Taare Zameen Par'. Along with classmates, they also started a club, `Akshara Akshaya', in June 2007. "The objective of this club is to spread awareness among students as well as parents about the importance of education." Anusha said.
Swarnakanthi, Kasturi Prabhu and Ramayashree B of Dr K Shivaram Karantha Government School, Putur Nagar, won the award for highlighting issues related to AIDS, like causes, symptoms and preventive measures.
Primary and secondary education minister Visveshwara Hegde Kageri commended the students for doing projects on social issues. He stressed on the need for students to show social responsibility. He said under the 11th Five-Year Plan, `Mahiti Sindhu', a free computer-based education programme, will be implemented in all government schools by next year. "The government will take the help of IT companies for this," he said. However, he also observed that while technology has been beneficial, there have been instances of its misuse.
