To increase the number of students in government schools and to reverse the trend of decreasing number of students, the Punjab School Education Department (PSEB), for the first time, a proactive strategy has been adopted by the latter. The department has made a decision of sending its teachers, including over 28,000 anganwari workers to convince parents of children, including those not part of anganwaris, to admit them in government primary schools.
Officials in the education department revealed that Krishan Kumar, Director General School Education, (DGSE), has issued instructions that all anganwari workers be taken on board of village education committees.
