3. Z P HIGH SCHOOL, RUDRAVARAM: A UNIQE MODEL SCHOOL
From Nandavaram, we have travelled to Rudravaram via Banaganepalli, Koilakuntla and Allagadda covering nearly 75 KM. As there is no other route, we were compelled to go in this to reach Rudravaram.
We reached Rudravaram by 3.30 PM. The school is headed by an exemplary dedicated Head Master by name Sri S. Laxmi Reddy. Why because, the HM stays in the school itself for 6 days in a week along with the students and makes them to study. Once in a week, he used to go to his residence at Allagadda, which is 20Km away. He dedicate almost all his personal and official time for the betterment of the students and the school. All the staff members are motivated by his personality and they also dedicate their time for the students. The BREAD library was inaugurated in a very formal way.
It is very appreciating that an exemplary teacher by name Sri Krishna Mohan, does a wonderful work in inspiring the students and teachers. He along with the teachers and students collects the news paper clippings on various aspects- scientific, social, medicinal- keeps the records. These clippings will be used for their reference in class room teaching. They also encourage students to read the items in the paper clippings of the day in the assembly hour i.e prayer time. Students are encouraged to prepare “PUSTHKA SAMEEKSHA “. We were very much impressed by the work of these teachers and their dedication towards students and school.
The way of library reading time is very appreciable, as we observed there in this school. All the important books of BREAD library will be kept spread on a big table open to all the students of that particular period. The students are allowed to take any book of their interest and can read any number of books during that library period. This open accessibility under the supervision of the concerned teacher is being maintained every day. A computer lab is there well maintained for the sake of students in improving their computer skills.
Our suggestions regarding this unique Model school:
1. There is every need to encourage this school by supporting for polytechnic coaching. 2. There is also need to encourage this school by supporting through NMMS study materials at least 50 copies. Because, there are more than 60 students appearing for NMMS exams on 20th November. 3. They are also interested to tree plantation for more than 30 well grownup saplings, for which they need Tree Guards. This is an urgent need of the school. There is a boundary wall for this school
