KAMBA, Sep 23: MLA Nyamar Karbak advised parents and guardians to examine their children’s academic performance regularly, stating that students perform better when parents get involved in their education.

Asserting that students from government schools had a better success ratio in the APPSC examinations than those from private institutions, Karbak called for concentrated effort by all to make the GHSS a better institution for teaching and learning.
He urged the mothers to look into all the needs (including sanitary necessities) of their girl children.
GHSS Principal Gekir Karga, MTA chairman Yormi Kato, PTA chairman Mokar Nomuk, ADC (in-charge) Tamas Mugli, ex-PRI Damli Niri, and advocate Geli Noshi also spoke.
The MTA and the PTA were formed recently to involve parental participation in schools.
