“The PTM has become a medium to establish communication between teacher, parents and students which was necessary,” Sisodia told reporters.

Issuing report card of students to their parents by teachers is a part of the meeting, the minister said.

Sisodia also said it helps parents to understand the qualities as well as shortcomings of their children, adding that the PTM has become a best window to engage parents with teachers.

The first parent-teacher meeting was held on July 30 and the government had announced that the meeting would be held twice a year.

Sisodia had earlier said the government has sanctioned a separate budget to organise PTMs in nearly 1,000 schools run by it.

The focus of the PTMs is to encourage one-to-one communication between parents and teachers.

During the PTM, the government is apprising the parents of the initiatives undertaken by it to improve the quality of education in its schools.
