"It is high time. India should start thinking of smart schools on the lines of smart cities. We are hopeful that the prime minister will notice it," Super 30 founder-director Anand Kumar said here on Teachers Day.
He said the government vowed to build toilets in all the schools, as it is a basic necessity.
"Now, it is time to think of making schools smart. And for that, the thrust has to be on good teachers. A school is as good as its teachers, not the kind of building it has or the gadgets it uses," he said.
"Not everyone one can become a teacher, but a teacher can certainly contribute to the society in more ways than one," he said.
He said shortage of good teachers was being felt at all the levels - be it colleges, universities, engineering and medical institutions - and more so at the basic school level.
Anand Kumar, along with former Bihar Police director general Abhyanand, started Super 30 over a decade ago. Later, Abhyanand dissociated himself from the institute.
The centre was selected by Time magazine for the list of 'The Best of Asia 2010'.
