Dr. Sajitha Bashir stated that school outreach
programme was organised to create an awareness
among the children on how to learn other than
what is already learned, how to develop the skills
and knowledge and the responsibility to utilise the
acquired skills and knowledge for the betterment of
the society. She put forward the relevance of self-
learning and advised the children to focus on self-
learning to gain more knowledge. She suggested
learners to concentrate learning outside the syllabus
of textbooks. She stated that efforts of Vakkom
