In a massive outreach reflecting Punjab’s push to transform government schools, nearly 21 lakh parents turned up for the Mega PTM held today across 19,200 government schools in all 23 districts to discuss students\u2019 academic progress, attendance, strengths and areas requiring additional support. The record participation underlines growing parental trust in Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann led state government\u2019s education reforms under Punjab Sikhiya Kranti.<\/p>\n
Revealing the details of the Mega PTM, Punjab Education Minister S. Harjot Singh Bains expressed gratitude to parents for reposing trust in government schools and joining the initiative in large numbers. He also congratulated officials of the School Education Department for making it a success.<\/p>\n
He further shared that the PTM was held under the theme \u201cHar Din, Ik Kadam Agge\u201d (Every Day, One Step Forward), witnessing around 21 lakh parent visits that reflected active participation of families in their children\u2019s education. Around 2,000 schools were also visited by departmental officials to review arrangements and observe the conduct of the meetings.<\/p>\n
Going beyond report cards and exam scores, S. Harjot Singh Bains said that the Mega PTM focused on strengthening the parent-teacher partnership to ensure every child receives timely encouragement, guidance and academic support, with meaningful conversations centred on each child\u2019s overall learning journey and individual needs.<\/p>\n
During one-on-one interactions, teachers shared report cards and discussed classroom performance, attendance and learning outcomes, highlighting each student\u2019s strengths and areas needing improvement. Parents were also guided on practical ways to support learning at home and work jointly with teachers to bridge learning gaps, the Education Minister added.<\/p>\n
Bains said the Mega PTM also served as a platform to sensitise parents about various student-support initiatives being implemented by the School Education Department. He appreciated School Management Committee (SMC) members for their valuable contribution to school development and for strengthening community participation in government schools.<\/p>\n
The initiative is part of Punjab Sikhiya Kranti, the state\u2019s flagship programme to improve the quality of school education through active collaboration among teachers, parents and the wider school community.<\/p>\n
Harjot Bains emphasised that every child learns at a different pace and consistent encouragement at home coupled with targeted academic support at school can significantly improve learning outcomes. The Mega PTM enabled parents to better understand their children\u2019s educational needs and identify practical steps to support their continued progress.<\/p>\n
Reiterating the Punjab Government\u2019s commitment to making government schools more inclusive, responsive and learning-focused, he stated, \u201cThe central message of the Mega PTM is clear \u2014 every child matters, every step forward counts and together, parents and teachers can help every child realise their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
