Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann announces shuttle service for school girls

India Today  

On Monday, the Punjab Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, announced that the state government will begin a shuttle bus service for school-going girls across the state in order to check the drop-out-rate among girl students. "In the absence of transportation facilities, the school drop-out rate is much higher among girls, so we have decided to grant this facility to every girl child of the state to counter this phenomenon vigorously,” Mann said, as reported by PTI. It has been decided to send teachers to Oxford, Harvard and other renowned universities to acquire new teaching skills, on lines of such a decision taken by the Delhi government. Urging the teachers to shun the path of agitation and inviting them for deliberations, he said the policies adopted during previous dispensations created unwanted hindrances but special attention is being given to education and health as these are the core areas of concern of the AAP government.
