Punjab CM flags off batch of headmasters for training at IIM
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 at 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 quality education so that they can compete with their convent educated peers across the globe.
The CM 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. Taking pot shots over his predecessors, the Chief Minister said that the earlier rulers didn’t like to move amongst the people after their elevation. However, Bhagwant Mann said that he is daily attending one or other event to ensure the well being of every section of the society. He said that his government is duty bound to ensure the welfare of every section of society and no stone will be left unturned for this noble cause.
The CM said that after assuming the charge of office he had laid emphasis on regularizing the services of 12710 teachers by overcoming all the legal and administrative hiccups.
Mann said that the motive was to ensure the secure future of teachers as he firmly believes that if the future of teachers is protected then only they can transform the destiny of the students.
