The Punjab government has decided that private schools will soon have to provide free education to 10% of their students. This means that children from low-income families will get a chance to study in private schools without paying tuition fees.
The School Education Department will start a survey of all private schools across Punjab. They want to see how many students enrolled and identify those who could benefit from this initiative. The survey set to wrap up by August 31, right after the summer holidays.
This decision builds on the Private Schools Ordinance of 2014, which already suggested that private schools should help out students who can’t afford fees. But now, the government is making it a rule that 10% of the students in every private school should get free education.
Some private schools have said they’re already supporting deserving students. However, this new rule will make sure that all private schools in Punjab follow the same standard, giving more kids the chance to study without worrying about the cost.
For many families, this is a ray of hope. The idea that their children attend a private school, known for better facilities and teaching, without the heavy burden of fees, is a dream come true. This step by the Punjab government is all about leveling the playing field and ensuring that every child, no matter their background, has access to quality education.
