Good Initiative But Poor Implementation To Improve The Results
Chandigarh education department in association with State Council Educational Research and Training (SCERT) had planned to constitute committees in 2015 to improve the quality of education in government schools and also to improve the class 9 results. The motive of the committees was to conduct regular meetings of school principals and school teachers.
The SCERT head said that the initiative was taken by Chandigarh education department and there were discussions and suggestions to improve results. However, they have not been updated yet regarding the same and they haven’t been given any assignments so far.
