Ranchi, May 28 (APAC Media): Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has issued a series of major directives aimed at overhauling the state’s education system, including expanding the CM Schools of Excellence to 5,000, accelerating teacher recruitment, and upgrading infrastructure in government schools.
A Push for Quality Education
CM Soren stressed that all government schemes must be delivered to students promptly and with full transparency. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring modern, high-quality education for every child in Jharkhand.
The Chief Minister instructed officials to expedite the recruitment process for teachers and ensure that all vacant posts are filled without delay.
He also emphasised that no school should remain dependent on a single teacher for extended periods, highlighting the need for adequate staffing in all institutions.
Expansion of CM Schools of Excellence
A key decision was the expansion of CM Schools of Excellence to 5,000 across the state. The initiative is intended to:
- Extend quality education to rural and remote regions
- Improve learning outcomes in government schools
- Ensure equal access to modern educational infrastructure
Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity
The Chief Minister also directed that all government schools be equipped with reliable internet connectivity and functional ICT laboratories. He noted that digital learning tools are essential for improving educational outcomes and preparing students for future opportunities.
Officials informed the meeting that Jharkhand has made steady progress in reducing school dropout rates and is now performing better than the national average.
Holistic Development in Schools
The proposed “Dishom Guru Shibu Soren Vidyalaya” was also discussed. The institution is planned to provide free, quality education to the children of martyred police personnel. The Chief Minister instructed officials to submit the Detailed Project Report (DPR) within a week.
The Chief Minister also emphasised the importance of overall student development, directing officials to promote sporting activities, identify and nurture young talent, launch tree plantation drives on school campuses, and introduce pilot transport facilities for students. He said such measures would improve attendance and enhance student well-being.
