Collector urges academic panels to focus on learning outcomes
A district leader in charge of schools gave some advice to education officers.
He told them that visiting schools should be about helping students learn better.
Visits should not just be about checking off rules.
Officers should watch classes and give quick tests to find where kids are struggling.
Then they can make a plan to help fix those problems.
He said feedback to teachers should be kind and helpful.
Checks on schools should support teachers, not scare them.
He also wants students to ask questions and use digital tools more.
Officers should keep checking that their plans are working.
This advice was shared at a training event at a big university.
Peddapalli District Collector Koya Sri Harsha said academic panel visits should focus on improving classroom teaching and student learning, not just routine inspections.
He spoke at a one-day training and awareness programme for educational officers at Osmania University on Thursday.
Sri Harsha called for school visits to include classroom observations and spot assessments to identify learning gaps and plan targeted interventions.
He said feedback to teachers must be constructive and that monitoring should support teachers rather than create fear.
He urged officials to follow up on issues found during visits and prepare targeted improvement plans at school and mandal levels.
