Chandigarh, May 12 – Haryana Education Minister, Sh. Mahipal Dhanda, has directed all senior district officers to inspect at least four schools every month and assess the quality of education and the basic facilities being provided to the students. If any irregularities are found during these inspections, prompt action should be taken to resolve them to further strengthen the quality of education.
The Education Minister was presiding over the District Grievance Redressal Committee meeting held at the DRDA auditorium in Jind on Monday.
A total of 18 complaints were tabled before the Minister, out of which four were resolved on the spot. For the remaining complaints, committees of officers have been formed with designated duties for timely resolution.
The Education Minister has directed the officers to work with honesty and only make decisions after thoroughly investigating the complaints so that justice can be delivered to the complainants.
After the District Grievance Committee meeting, the Minister also interacted with the media and said that the government’s main objective is to provide students with quality and value-based education. The National Education Policy implemented by the Central Government has already been adopted in the state. With the implementation of this policy, the education system in Haryana will be further strengthened. Students will get the opportunity to learn an additional language along with their core subjects, enabling them to express their thoughts in multiple languages, even in distant regions, said Sh. Mahipal Dhanda.
He said that under the state government’s scheme, books and stationery have been provided to students. He directed the concerned officers to consider it their moral responsibility to ensure the distribution of this educational material to all children.
The Minister said that compared to last year, more students have been enrolled in government schools this year. Furthermore, he informed that private schools have been instructed not to make any changes to students’ books or uniforms for a period of five years.
