Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 15-
Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday envisioned that the Principals/ Teachers abroad are acting as a catalyst of the Education Revolution in the state by further improving the standard of education to benefit the common man.
Interacting with the teachers after flagging off a batch of 72 teachers for teachers training in Finland here at his official residence, the Chief Minister said that education, health and power had acquired a centre stage in the political agenda of the parties due to the concerted efforts of AAP and its national convener Arvind Kejriwal. He said that prior to this none of the political parties had ever bothered about these core sectors that have been most important for a common man. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that Punjab has hitherto sent 234 principals/education officers for a five day Leadership Development Programme to Singapore and 72 Primary Cadre Teachers to Turku, Finland.
The Chief Minister said that apart from it three batches of 152 Headmaster/ education officers were sent to IIM Ahmedabad.
