In a major push to enhance quality education and strengthen community involvement in Punjab’s government schools, the state has rolled out a new campaign led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and driven by Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains.
As part of this effort, the School Education Department is set to conduct a statewide series of ‘Parents’ Participation’ workshops, designed to transform the education landscape through active collaboration with School Management Committees (SMCs).
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann expressed his commitment to this initiative, saying, "The government is not only building magnificent school buildings, but also creating a strong education system that will brighten the future of children.
The government believes that the active participation of parents is the most important key to realizing this dream."
Highlighting the objectives of this initiative, senior officials stated that the primary purpose of these workshops is to fully empower parents.
They said, "The government wants every parent to have clear information about their child's academic progress, the contribution of government schools, and their role in school development. This effort will build an unbreakable bridge between home and school for the holistic development of children."
The first session of this important campaign will begin soon. The workshop series will be formally launched with a statewide Mega PTM on December 20, 2025, enabling direct and effective communication between parents and teachers.
The department has developed a robust four-tier training framework to ensure that this vital information reaches every corner of the state. Training will begin with top master trainers at the state level, after which the process will progress to train teachers at the district and then block levels.
Finally, in the fourth and final phase, workshops will be held directly for all parents at the school level. This reflects the vision of CM Mann and Minister Bains to prioritize community participation to make government schools the best educational institutions in the country.
