Punjab News: Punjab’s Schools of Eminence project is changing the way people see government education. Once considered weak and neglected, these schools are now equipped with modern classrooms, labs, and advanced facilities. Parents who earlier rushed to private institutions are now seeking admission for their children in government schools. The Mann government has invested heavily, ensuring that children from poor and middle-class families get access to world-class learning. Performance in national exams like NEET, JEE, and CLAT shows that students from these schools are matching and even outperforming private institutions. This shift is turning Punjab into an education hub.
Teachers are at the center of Punjab’s reforms. On World Teachers’ Day, Mann described them as true “nation builders.” Unlike earlier, now teachers are not left behind with outdated methods. They are receiving global-level training in Singapore, Finland, and prestigious Indian institutions like IIM Ahmedabad. These training programs are designed to upgrade teaching standards to international levels. Teachers themselves feel more respected and empowered, which reflects in their commitment to students. The state has also hired campus managers to handle administrative work, so teachers can focus only on teaching. This approach has restored dignity to the teaching profession.
Chief Minister Mann believes education should not only prepare youth for jobs but also connect them with Punjab’s rich heritage. During the celebrations in Sri Anandpur Sahib, he reminded students of the state’s glorious history. A heritage corridor to Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib is being built after 55 years, aiming to link students with culture and tradition. By teaching values of history while adopting modern learning methods, Punjab hopes to create confident citizens who respect their roots. This balance between heritage and modernity is what makes Punjab’s reforms unique. The government sees culture and education as inseparable parts of progress.
Punjab faced devastating floods damaging thousands of schools and colleges. Yet teachers stood as real heroes during this crisis. They not only saved children but also worked hard to restore learning. Mann praised their courage and called them true guides of society. The floods destroyed over 3,200 schools, 19 colleges, and damaged 8,500 kilometers of roads. Despite such losses, teachers proved that their mission is beyond classrooms. Their role in community rebuilding won praise from across the state. This commitment showed that Punjab’s education revolution is not only about systems but about human spirit and responsibility.
Perhaps the most significant part of the reforms is linking education with employment. Training programs now include skills that prepare students for global opportunities. Punjab is not just talking about education—it is preparing its youth for real jobs, both in India and abroad. Private companies and startups are already showing interest in these schools’ graduates. For the first time, government school students are competing directly with private school peers in the job market. This focus on employment makes Punjab’s education reforms stand apart. It is not only about learning but about securing the future of the young generation.
