Patna Schools Bolster Education With PM Poshan & Teacher Training

Patna's education sector saw a significant review on Wednesday, with District Magistrate Thiyagarajan S M confirming the PM Poshan Scheme's expansion to 3,017 schools. The initiative aims to enhance mid-day meals with specific nutritional standards.

Inclusive education training has been successfully completed for 3,135 teachers and 1,973 parents. This training focuses on promoting disability rights, addressing student needs, and building confidence.

The review also covered the "Advanced Education-Bright Future" initiative. Officials were directed to establish better communication channels with students, parents, and teachers for feedback and to implement modern teaching methods. Libraries, laboratories, and essential facilities like drinking water, sanitation, and sports equipment are to be kept functional.

Progress on the Right to Education Act, civil works, and scholarship distribution was also assessed. The operational status of residential hostels for underprivileged students was confirmed, with a gap analysis ordered for specific institutions to identify resource needs.
