Punjab Newsline, Shimla, September17-
While presiding over a meeting of the Education Department here today, CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that surplus Mid-Day-Meal workers, resulting from merger of schools, would be adjusted suitably in the nearby schools and their services would not be terminated. He said that the State Government was revolutionizing the current education system with numerous initiatives and the merger of schools is one of the key initiatives aiming to provide quality education in the government educational institutions.
Sukhu said that to improve the functioning of SCERT and District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs), the State Government would re-structure both the organizations. This measure is intended to strengthen the quality education and training to the students across the State. He said that the wrong policies of the previous BJP Government had led to decline in Himachal Pradesh's ranking to 21st place nationally in terms of quality education and the current State Government is working meticulously to offer quality education in the government educational institutions.
The Chief Minister said that the State Government has introduced foreign exposure visits to the teachers, enabling them to adopt best teaching practices, ultimately benefiting the students.
