Sambaraju Balakishen Rao has been appointed president of the State Upadhyaya Satta, a Lok Satta affiliate. He is the headmaster of a school in Shadnagar mandal of Mahabubnagar district.
The State Working Committee of the Upadhyaya Satta, which met here on Saturday, effected the change following the appointment of the incumbent, Prof. Vijayakumar, as Mahabubnagar District Education Officer.
Party general secretary M Sattibabu presided over the meeting.
Addressing the Working Committee, Lok Satta Party president Jayaprakash Narayan said the Upadhyaya Satta should distinguish itself from other teachers' organizations which hit the roads frequently on sectional demands.
The LSP chief said that it should take up a program to strengthen education in the government sector, to earn respect for the teacher and ensure a bright future for students and the country.
He wanted teachers to make the Right to Education Act, Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan and Rajiv Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan a success. He also mentioned instances of how the American society revolves round education, pointing out that people mention the local school as a reference point for their address.
