Punjab News: In a major step towards improving public education infrastructure, the Punjab government has launched a free transport bus service in more than 200 government schools, benefiting thousands of students across the state. The initiative, led by Punjab’s Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, marks a significant shift as government school buses join the fleet traditionally dominated by private yellow buses.
This move is part of a broader effort by the Punjab government, under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, to provide world-class facilities in government schools, fulfilling the promise made by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The initiative aims to ensure equitable access to education for all students, particularly those from remote areas.
The #PunjabSikhyaKranti campaign continues to transform the state’s education system, leaving no stone unturned in delivering on the government’s commitment to enhancing public education.
Boosting Access to Education
The free bus service will significantly enhance accessibility for students, especially those in rural and remote areas, who previously struggled with transportation. By removing this barrier, the initiative ensures that more children can attend school regularly, thus improving attendance rates and reducing dropout rates. This development is expected to provide a safer and more reliable mode of transport for thousands of students across Punjab.
A Step Towards Educational Equality
The introduction of government school buses reflects the state’s commitment to leveling the playing field between private and public school students. By offering these free transport services, the government is addressing a critical need for underprivileged communities, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to receive quality education without the burden of transportation costs.
