The school education minister Mr Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi yesterday caught the attention of many when he cut the rippon and inaugurated new classroom buildings for the panchayat union primary school that was constructed at a cost of Rs 15 lakhs. It must be noted that the fund amount was provided by Ranganathan, a former state councilor from Suliyapatti near Manapparai of Trichy district.
The school education minister spoke about how parents as well as the teachers must not ignore the problems of the students and they must make the children pour out their feelings. Recently, Mangadu in Chennai made news when a school girl there committed suicide. The minister assured that those who were responsible for her death would be caught and punished. He requested the school students not to think about suicide and drop the decision.
It is known that the government has provided numbers like 1098 and 14477 to prevent suicides from taking place. The students must make use of these numbers to vent out their feelings. There is now awareness being created for the children regarding getting rid of stress. It is the duty of parents and teachers to listen to the children compulsorily. Truth is that the government has a responsibility to analyze these.
