Punjab News: In the wake of unprecedented heavy rainfall and severe flooding across Punjab, the Bhagwant Mann-led government has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety of children attending schools. As schools began reopening after days of closure, the Education Department launched a focused initiative to strengthen safety measures in private schools by mandating the submission of Building Safety Certificates.
Strengthening Safety Measures for Children
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has always emphasized the safety and well-being of every citizen, especially children. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the Education Department’s new campaign aims to ensure that every private school adheres to the highest safety standards. This step comes as part of the government’s larger efforts to restore normalcy and confidence in public services following the floods.
Government Schools Under Improvement
Alongside efforts for private schools, the Mann government has accelerated its work to repair and maintain government school buildings across the state. Several repair projects have already been initiated, with dedicated teams working day and night to restore safe learning environments. The Chief Minister’s vision remains clear—to make sure no child’s education is compromised due to infrastructural issues.
Technical Experts and Better Monitoring
This time, the government is committed to involving technical experts and structural engineers in future phases to ensure a more thorough and transparent safety assessment of schools. The initiative will not only improve the safety of school buildings but also instill confidence among parents and students.
A Step Towards Resilient Education System
By focusing on both private and government schools, the Bhagwant Mann administration is working to strengthen Punjab’s education system in the face of natural calamities. The aim is to build a resilient and safe educational environment where children can continue their studies without fear, even in challenging times.
This comprehensive approach reflects the government’s dedication to serving Punjab’s people with responsibility, compassion, and urgency, ensuring that education continues uninterrupted and safely amid the crisis.
