Every student has a right toward quality education- Aditya Thackeray
Pune, November 10, 2020: “We want to build a new Maharashtra and set up eminent schools where every student should get the privilege of receiving quality education. Our education system should help pique curiosity in students and encourage practical learning rather than rote-learning,” said Aditya Thackeray, Minister of Tourism and Environment, Government of Maharashtra.
He was speaking during the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Chatrabhuj Narsee School, a Cambridge and IBDP school at Amanora Township in Hadapsar.
NCP President, Sharad Pawar was present on the occasion along with Aniruddha Deshpande, Managing Director, Amanora Park Town and City Corporation, Jairaj Thacker, Managing Trustee, Narsee Monjee Educational Trust and Chetan Tupe, MLA from Hadapsar.
“Since past 8 months, I have been only inaugurating Covid centres across the state and this is for the first time in those 8 months I am inaugurating a school, which is a place of hope and positivity and I am grateful and happy about it,” said Thackeray.
Speaking on the occasion, Sharad Pawar said, “Post Covid, the way schools operate will undergo a change, which needs to be considered while designing and operating schools. It must be in sync with the guidelines set up by the state government.”
