In the backdrop of poor results in the school exams, Punjab Education Minister Aruna Chaudhary on Saturday directed the departmental officers to focus on ensuring speedy working mechanism in the department, transparent services and result oriented approach leading to the maximisation of the performance level.
In a meeting held at the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) complex with all the officers stationed at headquarters as well as all the Circle Education Officers (CEOs) and District Education Officers (DEOs) (Elementary & Secondary), the minister made it clear that as the Education Department is directly connected to the children so the departmental officials would have to understand their responsibility and be accountable.
She said lackluster and dilly-dillaying approach with regard to work would not be tolerated at any cost.
The Minister said every assistance will be given to the department to improve upon the unsatisfactory results and the officers stationed at the headquarters and DEOs are the axis around which the whole department revolves which makes it all the more important for them to take up the challenge to produce better results.
She also said it is imperative for the field officers to give feedback for further improvement in the functioning of the department. The Minister emphsised the compliance of the directions issued from the headquarters in letter and spirit and said no laxity in this matter would be tolerated.
