Nara Lokesh Praises Teachers as 'Brand Ambassadors' of Government Education

In a uplifting vote of confidence for government education, Andhra Pradesh HRD and IT Minister Nara Lokesh on Sunday praised a band of school teachers who have admitted their own children to government schools, referring to them as the real "Brand Ambassadors for Government Education."

Going to social media platform X (previously Twitter), Lokesh complimented the teachers for the continued faith and commitment in the government school system. He observed that the academic achievements of their children are a reflection of the quality of education in public schools—often comparable to or even superior to private schools.

"Master stars such as these are our 'Stars' Brand Ambassadors for Government Education. Hats off to you," Lokesh applauded, praising the teachers not only for their professional work, but also for setting a personal example.

Lokesh particularly mentioned:

Bonthu Madhubabu, School Assistant of Jinnur ZP School in Podur Mandal, West Godavari

Babu Rajendra Prasad, Gym Teacher at Pangidigudem High School

Veeravasarapu Balakarunakara Rao, Teacher at Somaraju Cheruvu Primary School

All three have opted to send their children to government schools, and the high scores obtained by the students have become beacons of excellence of the potential of public education.

"The achievement by your children who attended government schools is a direct proof that government schools are superior to private schools," Lokesh underlined.

The post gained popular support rapidly online as users praised the teachers for their stand and the state government for building confidence in government schools.

The move comes as Andhra Pradesh pursues its efforts to transform and raise government schools through infrastructure improvements, digital education platforms, and teacher capacities–as part of an overall effort to make quality education affordable and equitable.
