Chandigarh: The Punjab government will send 36 school principals to Singapore in March for a five-day training program aimed at improving school education standards, Punjab School Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains announced.

Under the Leadership Development Programme, 198 principals and education officers from Punjab have already received training at The Principal’s Academy, Singapore. The upcoming batch will be the seventh in this initiative.
