The initiative succeeded in reaching over 18 lakh parents in a single day, making it one of the largest school-community engagement exercises in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Divulging the details about the Mega PTM, Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains revealed the plans to roll out the Students Absent Alert SMS system in all government schools, that&#8217;ll boost regular attendance and further strengthen the education system. The SMS alerts will notify parents when their child is absent. The move will promote accountability.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Minister stated, \u201cParents were sensitised about the Students Absent Alert SMS system through structured orientations and one-on-one discussions. The Mega PTM went beyond report card distribution, offering holistic feedback on each child&#8217;s progress. Schools created welcoming environments, showcased student work through exhibitions, and focused on HPV vaccination for girls to promote adolescent health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Terming the Mega PTM as a critical step towards strengthening the state\u2019s education ecosystem, Harjot Singh Bains said, \u201cAll Government schools dedicated the entire day exclusively to parent-teacher-student interactions, transforming classrooms into collaborative spaces focused on meaningful dialogue rather than routine academic transactions to build a responsive and inclusive public education system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harjot Singh Bains emphasised that Punjab Sikhya Kranti is about building strong partnerships between schools and families, not just infrastructure. When parents and teachers work together, every child benefits. This Mega PTM aimed to strengthen that partnership across Punjab&#8217;s government schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PTM meeting also served as a platform for an enrollment drive for the new academic session to encourage admissions in government schools, while disseminating information on key quality initiatives such as Mission Samarth, Hunar Sikhya and other flagship programmes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Mega PTM underscores Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann led Punjab Government\u2019s strong commitment to community-driven education reforms to further improve student learning outcomes, besides, building a responsive and inclusive public education system. By turning report card days into real conversations, the state has reinforced its vision of a participatory and outcome-driven education framework under the Punjab Sikhya Kranti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From report cards to real feedback, Punjab schools shift to outcome-driven education model under Sikhya Kranti: Harjot Singh Bains Punjab E News (March 28): To enhance community participation to improve student learning outcomes under the ongoing \u201cPunjab Sikhya Kranti\u201d drive, the Bhagwant Mann Government has organised a statewide Mega Parent\u2013Teacher Meeting (PTM) across all government [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":62716,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,19,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-edu-immi","category-latest","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
