Pius exhorts parents to send wards to school

MAWKYRWAT: Ranikor MLA Pius Marwein has laid emphasis on education as a medium to build a healthy society and urged parents, especially in rural areas, to send their children to school.
Addressing a gathering on the concluding day of the Rangjadong Government LP School Golden Jubilee celebrations on Friday, Marwein said there are many poor families in Ranikor constituency who cannot afford to send their children to school.
“Education is not only for getting a job but it also leads to development of the village or a society as a whole. It is very important because when children attend school, villages develop, the society is different and it can provide different opportunities especially in terms of livelihood. As parents, even though we will have to face many problems to feed our families, we should not deprive children of education,” he added.
While urging the people to take advantage of free education provided by the government, Marwein reminded parents that many successful people came from poor families. Marwein also lauded the efforts of the managing committee for running the school for the past 50 years.
The school was first established by the Wales Missionaries which was supported by the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist.
