To help children explore their talent, Punjab is all set to organize summer camps for government school students from pre-primary to VIII standard across the state from July 3 to 15.
Announcing this, the state’s School Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Sunday said that the School Education Department is taking a unique initiative for the first time and summer camps are being organized in all the government schools. “More than Rs five crore has been released by the government for these summer camps. With this amount, the school heads will bring material for activities to the students,” he said.
The Minister said that in the summer camps, children will be given work related to intellectual activities, healthcare, sports, art and craft, basic values, mathematics, environmental education, and language skills etc.
Bains said that he will personally monitor the functioning of the summer camps and will also try to interact with the students. He said that children from Classes IX to XII will be taught as usual.
