How is the Mann government leading next-level education reforms?
The Mann government has so far set up a total of 118 Schools of Eminence with an investment of Rs 231.74 crore. The Schools of Eminence, as per CM Bhagwant Mann, are considered a remarkable beginning toward a bright future for underprivileged children. “The state government is making concerted efforts to transform the destiny of the youth by making them job givers instead of job seekers,” the CM said.
The students in Schools of Eminence are being provided free uniforms, bus services have been arranged for girls, and they are offered free coaching for competitive exams—Armed Forces, NEET, JEE, CLAT, and NIFT. As per the CM, 265 students studying in Schools of Eminence and other government schools qualified for JEE Mains, 44 cleared JEE Advanced, and 848 students qualified for NEET.
