Punjab’s efforts to modernise its public education system have just got a fresh boost, with 72 government school teachers leaving for Finland for a 15-day training programme. The training will be conducted at the University of Turku in Finland. This is the largest batch sent abroad by the state government under its overseas teacher-training initiative.
With the latest batch, the total number of teachers sent to Finland for specialised training will increase to 216. The teachers' team was flagged off in Chandigarh by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on May 19, in the presence of Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains.
