Tamil Nadu government’s education department is going ahead with organising Teachers Day celebrations as it used to do in the previous years. It will honour 377 teachers with the Best Teachers Award this year.
‘This year, 377 teachers will be conferred Nallasiriyar Awards (Best Teachers’ Award) and the function will be held at Madras Christian College Higher Secondary School and we will stick to Teachers Day tag and avoid using new references,’ a senior state government official.
Asked if the government would make arrangements to show interaction of prime minister Modi with children in state-run schools, the official said, there ‘are no plans as of now,’ and added that private schools, be it matriculation or CBSE were free to show the interaction.
