reaffirmed the commitment to fostering the holistic development of children.
Oberoi urged the parents to talk to their children regarding education, subjects, Sports etc to get to know the likes and dislikes of their children.
“MCD provides primary education to the children which strengthen their foundation, so the role of parents and teachers are very important at this stage. PTM provides that platform where parents can interact with the teachers and discuss about the education of their children,” she said.
During the mega PTM, the teachers apprised parents of their child’s academic progress, and valuable suggestions were gathered from the parents.
