Cabinet Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO today participated in the Mahfil-e-Khas function at Sri Guru Teg Bahadur College, Sathiala, where he announced a grant of Rs 2 lakh for the college. He said that the grants for development and upgrade of schools and colleges in the state are being given under the large-scale reforms initiated in the field of education. “If we look at history, 90 per cent of the officers and teachers occupying high positions were all educated in government schools,” he claimed, while stressing that government school education is not something to look down upon. He said that there has been a big change in the appearance of government school buildings, while various teaching techniques are being implemented to make the students abreast with new tech-driven education system.
