Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Sunday flagged off the second batch of 50 school headmasters for the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad for training.
The minister also condemned the alleged incident of a school teacher in Uttar Pradesh asking her students to slap a boy from a minority community, saying such acts threaten the unity and integrity of the country.
The motive behind sending the headmasters to IIM is to ensure that students of government schools in the state get quality education so that they can compete with convent-educated peers across the globe, Bains said in an official statement.
