Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has once again underlined the transformative changes brought to the state’s education sector under his government. In a tweet, CM Mann said that while previous governments restricted government schools to being “mid-day meal centers” for poor children, his administration has worked tirelessly to improve facilities, infrastructure, and teaching quality.
He proudly highlighted that students from Punjab’s government schools are now clearing major competitive examinations and becoming officers, a testament to the state’s renewed focus on quality education.
From Neglect to Transformation
For decades, Punjab’s government schools were neglected and seen as institutions serving only underprivileged families. The focus of earlier regimes remained limited to providing mid-day meals rather than improving academic standards. However, the Mann government claims to have broken this stereotype by channeling resources into modern classrooms, digital tools, teacher training, and upgraded facilities.
CM Mann pointed out that these changes have restored parents’ faith in public education, leading to rising enrollment in government schools. Families who once sent their children to private institutions are now opting for government schools, encouraged by visible improvements.
Education as the Pathway to Empowerment
Education is often described as the key to empowerment, and Punjab’s recent achievements reflect this philosophy. By equipping children with the right environment, the government believes it is not only improving academic results but also creating future leaders, professionals, and administrators.
Parents across the state have also shared their satisfaction, noting that their children now have access to facilities comparable to private schools but at no cost. The success stories of students becoming doctors, engineers, and civil servants are now serving as inspiration for younger generations.
AAP’s Education Model Gaining Recognition
The education reforms in Punjab, under Bhagwant Mann, are often compared with the successful model implemented by AAP in Delhi. Both focus on infrastructure, accountability, and skill development, creating a system where talent thrives regardless of economic background.
