The director general of school education in Punjab has implemented a grading system for primary, middle, high, and senior secondary schools across the state in order to promote educational excellence.
The initiative aims to recognise and encourage efforts made by school principals and teachers to improve students' overall development, according to an order issued by the Punjab Education Director.
“School principals are urged to actively participate in this initiative by uploading essential data on the e-Punjab school portal within seven days. The e-Punjab school portal offers a link for the school grading process under the “other details” section. The data submission involves five key modules that is school results, infrastructure, co-curricular activities, SMC & public contribution and students’ attendance,” read the directive.
The criteria used to grade these schools include annual academic results of students and teacher availability, infrastructure facilities on school grounds, and contributions from School Management Committees (SMCs) and the general public.
