The proposal includes an evaluation system for private universities, designed to assess their contributions to academic excellence and societal needs. Sukhu emphasized that the ranking mechanism would promote accountability and drive improvements in both infrastructure and teaching quality. This effort is part of a broader vision to position the state as a hub of quality education.
The government has also announced plans to merge schools located within a two-kilometer radius to optimize resource utilization and combat teacher shortages. Such measures aim to ensure equitable access to quality education, particularly in rural areas. Sukhu acknowledged the urgency of these reforms, highlighting the state's current rank of 18th in the country in education quality as a clear indicator of the need for change.
