Why PTA ?

Why do we need a Parent Teacher Association ?

It is actually a two way process. Just as the parents would wish to know whether the school management is doing a good job, the teachers themselves would like to know more about the interests, aptitudes and social backgrounds of the students. This helps them to understand their students better and cater to their needs efficiently.

The Parent Teacher Association not only helps create an amiable atmosphere for education , it in the long run endeavors to churn out children who are mentally and physically adept in their respective fields.

Many parents tend to think that their responsibility stops with the admission of their children in school and expect the rest to be followed up by the school authorities . With a PTA ,the parents realize what goes into the working of the school ,the problems faced by it and how they can be overcome with a little co-operation and participation by parents. The Parent Teacher Association directly or indirectly helps improve the life of students not only in school but also at home,. The end result would be a united effort to bring forth into society well educated and socially responsible students.

Unfortunately not all schools in India religiously conduct PTA meetings. Most of the meetings are just a farce, thereby harming not just the regular functioning of the school but also the future of the students. The Directorate of Education (DoE) has also passed a resolution to all schools to conduct PTA  meetings compulsorily

We have nothing to worry about because we already are one enviable successful PTA group in our state.
