Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday called on teachers and parents to work together to ensure regular school attendance as the state prepares to launch the second phase of the ‘Chalo School Campaign’ on July 1.
In a post on X, the Chief Minister said July marks not only the beginning of a new month but also a renewed commitment to fulfilling the dreams of millions of children through education.
“July is not merely the beginning of a new month, but also the time for renewing our resolve to bring the dreams of millions of children to school. In Uttar Pradesh, the second phase of the ‘Chalo School Campaign’ is commencing from July 1,” he said.
Adityanath urged teachers to make classrooms more engaging so that children view school as an enjoyable learning environment rather than a daily obligation. He suggested incorporating activities such as sports and games to encourage greater student participation.
“Dear teachers, ensure that children do not view school merely as part of a daily routine, but show genuine interest in attending. Activities such as sports and games can serve as excellent means to achieve this,” he said.
The Chief Minister also appealed to parents to prioritise their children’s regular attendance and assess them on the basis of their determination and dedication rather than academic performance alone.
“Parents, evaluate your children not by their marks, but by their determination and dedication. It is you who must ensure their regular attendance at school,” he said.
Describing the initiative as a people’s movement, Adityanath urged citizens to support the campaign to strengthen education across the state.
“Transform the ‘Chalo School Campaign’ into a people’s movement. The future of Uttar Pradesh will shine brightly only when every child is nourished by education,” he added.
The second phase of the ‘Chalo School Campaign’ will begin on July 1 with the objective of increasing school enrolment and promoting regular attendance among children across Uttar Pradesh.
