In another path-breaking initiative aimed at spearheading revolution in the education sector, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday flagged off the first batch of the Headmasters for expert training at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad.
Interacting with the media after flagging off the batch of headmasters, the Chief Minister said that today is a red letter day in the history of the state.
He said that while delegations of Principals are coming back after receiving training in Singapore, this batch is going to Ahmedabad for upscaling of their expertise.
Bhagwant Mann said that the single motive is to ensure that students of the government schools in the state get a quality education so that they can compete with their convent-educated peers across the globe.
The Chief Minister said that as good coaches produce excellent players similarly an updated teacher will help in grooming able students for the coming future. He said that there is no dearth of funds with the state government for the education sector and every effort will be made to ensure that students get quality education.
Bhagwant Mann envisioned that due to the strenuous efforts of the state government, the day is not far away when Punjab will emerge as a hub of quality education across the country.
