Chandigarh: Punjab schools have topped in a recently conducted National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021 report released by the education ministry.
According to the Ministry of Education Punjab has not only scored more than the national average in all the categories but also topped in 10 out of 15 subjects while leaving behind other states including Delhi.
The survey was carried out in November 2021, in all subjects of classes 3, 5 and 8.
Moreover, the state has also bagged top ranking in mathematics in Class 10.
Meanwhile, Congress government attacked Aam Aadmi Party over the issue as it has been claiming that Delhi education system is better and attempting to implement the “Delhi model”, which had “lagged behind” Punjab.
Congress Punjab chief Amarinder Raja Warring Tweeted, “This might be the first time in history that a Chief Minister is not happy with his State’s exceptional performance. Punjab has ranked No.1 in national education survey and the CM @BhagwantMann ji hasn’t said anything to congratulate the hard work of our teachers.”
He further said that If it was Delhi, the @AamAadmiParty leadership would have jumped the gun to hail @ArvindKejriwal model of governance. Anyway, we at @INCPunjab are grateful for the hard work & dedication of each and every Punjabi teacher who toiled hard to make this possible. Grateful.
