In a significant push for digital education reform, the Bhagwant Mann-led government has upgraded over 5,000 government schools in Punjab with state-of-the-art computers and technology. This is being hailed as a revolutionary step in the transformation of the state’s public education system.
Bhagwant Mann: The project aims to replace outdated technology with state-of-the-art digital technology, such as desktop computers, smart classrooms, and interactive boards. The plan is to ensure that students in government schools get the same exposure to technology as students in private schools.
Bhagwant Mann: Bridging the Digital Divide
For several years, government schools in many parts of the country have been lacking in exposure to updated technology. The current initiative is a step towards bridging the digital divide and providing students with practical experience in computer knowledge, coding, and digital research.
The Punjab government has clarified that this upgrade is not restricted to urban areas alone. A large number of schools in rural areas have also been provided with state-of-the-art technology.

Strengthening Classroom Engagement
The use of interactive boards and intelligent learning tools is also expected to increase engagement in the classroom through more visual and interactive learning. Teachers are being urged to incorporate multimedia, assessment, and online presentations into their teaching practices.
According to education authorities, this move to modernise the education system is part of the overall strategy to improve academic performance and equip students for a technology-based world. Through this investment in technology, the government hopes to provide a more dynamic and skills-based learning environment.
The project, which has seen more than 5,000 schools modernised, is a major step towards modernising the education system in Punjab and providing students with the necessary skills for the 21st century.
