Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Monday announced that more than 4,000 government schools will be converted into schools of excellence to provide quality education to students.
He said that students in Jharkhand are not behind in any field but there is a need to connect them with resources.
“Our government has decided to provide quality education to students studying in public schools in the state. Children of Jharkhand will shine in education along with sports,” he said.
Soren was speaking at a national conference of School of Excellence Management Committees. “In the first phase, education is being conducted on the CBSE model in 80 schools of excellence. In the coming days, 4,000 schools will be converted into schools of excellence,” said Soren.
A competition will be organized between the selected schools of excellence. “The staff and children of the better-performing school will be taken on tour to other states of the country,” he said.
