Literacy Day today

To observe the International Literacy Day on September 8,Child Rights and You (CRY) is organising a state-wide exhibition of postcards sent by children of municipal and government schools as part of My School Initiative.

On Tuesday,postcards were displayed at the entrance of the CST to raise public awareness. Most postcards are with messages like “I want school books”,“I want drinking water”,“The bathrooms in my school are too dirty” or “My school is 7 kms from my house so there should be a school bus”.

Kreeanne Rabadi,Regional Director,CRY says,“It is obvious from this initiative that quality education from government schools is a daily concern for our children. We would like to share these children’s voices with the government to point out areas and issues that the RTE needs to address.”
