Sending 72 teachers to Finland for training will be a milestone for Punjab's education system
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, October 17-
Punjab's Education Minister Harjot Bains stated that sending 72 teachers from government schools to Finland for training reflects significant improvements in Punjab's education system over the past two and a half years. People are now discussing the education revolution in Punjab in every village and city.
He mentioned that before 2022, more than 8,000 government schools lacked boundary walls. We constructed boundary walls covering about 1,400 kilometers in all those schools. Additionally, more than 10,000 new classrooms were built, and desks were provided for students. Previously, around 100,000 children had to sit on the ground to study due to a lack of furniture, we have resolved that issue. Furthermore, 1,400 schools did not have bathrooms for girls, which we also constructed.
He added that significant work is ongoing in all government schools, alongside the Schools of Eminence. Wi-Fi has been installed in 18,000 schools, and security guards and campus managers have been hired. Before this government, not a single rupee was allocated for cleanliness in government schools. Now, monthly allocations range from 3,000 to 50,000 rupees.
