The first batch of school headmasters departed for training at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann calling it a “red letter day in the history of the state”.
While delegations of school principals are returning after training in Singapore, this batch is on its way to Ahmedabad to improve their expertise, an official release quoted Mann as saying.
The single motive is to ensure that students of state government schools get quality education so that they can compete with their convent-educated peers, said Mann, who flagged off the headmasters on their journey.
