• All the children of age 9 and above especially in the rural areas should be admitted in the school and those who were admitted should not stop from school in the middle of the year on any account. Every year they should be promoted to higher classes. To fulfill these objectives the Bishop and the Manager of schools convened H.M.'s meetings and gave instructions to H.M.'s to try their level best to uplift the children.
• Syllabus should be simplified, book load should be lessened. The creativity, intelligence and talents of children should be brought out and utilised. Computer education was introduced in chennai. seminars were conducted in Madras, Thiruvallur, Arakkonam, Chenglepet and Kancheepuram centres for teachers handling English, Science and Maths as per the direction of the Bishop.
• Infrastructure facilities should be provided to all schools. It is essential that there should be sufficient space, free air and good seating arrangement in schools.

Primary children don't have ground facility in their schools.
