Great initiative by CM Sukhu! Converting the boys school to co-ed CBSE pattern is a progressive step. Himachal is showing how education reforms should be done - with focus on both infrastructure and quality. More states should follow this model 🇮🇳

As someone from Una district, I'm thrilled about the new girls hostel! Many students from villages had to drop out due to lack of accommodation. This will really help girls continue their education. Hope they maintain the facilities properly though 🤞

While the projects look good on paper, I hope the government ensures proper utilization of funds. We've seen many such announcements before where the actual implementation lagged. The swimming pools and smart classrooms sound great, but will they be maintained?

The focus on English medium education is much needed! In today's competitive world, our kids shouldn't be left behind because of language barriers. Kudos to HP govt for thinking ahead 👏 But hope they don't neglect our regional languages and culture completely.

Rs 200 crore for model schools in every constituency is ambitious! Hope this doesn't remain just an election promise. The recruitment of 500+ teachers is promising too. Education is the real foundation for development - more states should invest like Himachal is doing.

As a teacher myself, I'm happy about the new recruitments but concerned about quality. Just having smart classrooms isn't enough - we need proper teacher training too. The focus should be on learning outcomes, not just infrastructure. Still, a step in right direction! 🙏
