The Punjab government is stepping up parental participation to improve the quality of education in government schools and make them world-class. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, a Mega Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) was organized across 19,200 government schools in all 23 districts of the state, providing a platform for parents to engage directly with their children’s education. Approximately 2.1 million parents participated in the initiative.
According to the Punjab government, the campaign aims to improve student learning outcomes, strengthen coordination between teachers and parents, and ensure that every child has access to quality education and equal opportunities for growth.
Emphasis on Parental Participation Through Mega PTM
Organized under the theme “Every Day, One Step Ahead,” the Mega PTM gave parents an opportunity to interact with teachers and understand their children’s academic progress. Discussions covered students’ report cards, attendance, classroom performance, and subjects in which they needed additional support.
Teachers also offered practical suggestions to help parents support their children’s learning at home. According to the state government, regular communication between parents and teachers can strengthen students’ educational foundations and help address academic difficulties in a timely manner.
