AAP government's education revolution, over 1,187 government school students pass NEET/JEE
Chandigarh(The Uttam Hindu): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu has strongly praised the revolutionary changes brought about in Punjab's education system under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He said that the Mann government's clear goal is to make Punjab's youth job creators, not job seekers, and this is not just a slogan but is becoming a reality on the ground. Sandhu said that over 1,187 students from government schools passing difficult examinations like NEET/JEE is a living proof of this revolution.
In a statement issued here, Harmeet Singh Sandhu targeted previous governments, saying that the Akali-BJP and Congress commercialized education and destroyed government schools, causing the common people to lose faith in the system. However, the AAP government has opened the doors of quality education to children from ordinary families by establishing Schools of Eminence with a massive investment of ₹231.74 crore. He stated that providing free uniforms and free bus service to students in these schools, especially empowering girl students, fulfills the government's guarantee of equality of opportunity.
Expressing pride in the success figures, the AAP candidate said that this change is now visible in the results. Today, 265 students from government schools passed the prestigious JEE Mains, 74 passed the JEE Advanced, and 848 passed the NEET. These impressive results were possible because the Schools of Eminence provide specialized coaching to students for NEET, JEE, CLAT, NIFT, and defense services, enabling them to compete globally.
Senior state officials are personally guiding students from government schools. He stated that this initiative will inculcate leadership qualities in students and make them confident entrepreneurs. The Mann government is not only providing jobs, but also creating an environment where young people will open their own companies and contribute to the building of a vibrant Punjab. He said that education is the greatest empowerment, and these policies of the AAP government are making Punjab's future bright.
