School education paves the way to the future of children. Therefore, it is important that there should be quality in education, schools must have good environment and teachers must be rich in knowledge so that children are always eager to attend school and study.
The State Government has taken many landmark decisions in the last one year to set up quality school education system in the state. Now children have started attending school, teachers have also become more dedicated towards providing good education to children. The change is becoming visible.
‘Learn for the best’ scheme has been implemented to improve the quality of school education. Under the scheme, departmental officers, principals and teachers visited local private schools, schools in Delhi, Mahamaya School in Noida and Korea Development Institute of South Korea.
This has changed the thinking and teaching style of principals and teachers. They are beginning to realize their responsibility towards children’s education and are coming to schools regularly.
System of daily checking of children’s copies of basic subjects has been implemented in schools. District and state level officials are visiting schools to ensure that the teachers check the copies of students daily and correct mistakes.

Recently, increments of 139 teachers were withheld, deductions were made in the salaries of 425 teachers, 665 teachers were issued warning and 751 teachers were issued show cause notices.
A system for the analysis of exam results in schools has been made. In order to assess the efficiency of teachers of schools with less than thirty percent exam results, 6215 teachers appeared in the examination held on June 12 and 15, 2019. Efficiency improvement training was also imparted to the teachers. After this, a re-test was taken.
Disciplinary action was taken against teachers whose results were not found satisfactory in this examination. Compulsory retirement was given to 16 teachers who failed in the open book exam after being imparted two months of training.
A system of regular parents-teachers meetings has been implemented in schools. Now parents-teacher meetings are being held simultaneously in every government school every three months. In these meetings, issues of student profiling, skill upgradation workbook, Partibha Parv results, bridge course, half-yearly examination, school attendance etc. are being discussed.
About 40 lakh parents attended these meetings for the first time. On Children's Day, the Education Minister sent a letter to all parents urging them to cooperate in improving the quality and efficiency of students.
