The Punjab School Education Ranking has come under the spotlight after claims that Punjab has achieved the number one position in India’s school education system, as per a recent NITI Aayog report. The development has triggered political discussions over education reforms and governance in the state.
The claim was shared by Aam Aadmi Party leader Manoj Sorathiya, who credited the transformation to the education policies implemented by the Punjab government.
Punjab School Education Ranking Sees Major Improvement
According to the claims, when the Aam Aadmi Party formed the government in Punjab, the state’s school education system was ranked 27th in the country. It was also alleged that previous governments, including the Akali Dal-BJP alliance and the Congress regime, failed to strengthen the education sector.
However, under the current administration, the Punjab School Education Ranking is said to have improved significantly, reaching the top position in India based on the NITI Aayog report.
