NEP implementation showing results in board exams: CM

Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Monday said that the state's efforts to implement the National Education Policy (NEP) and provide quality education are reflected in the results of the Class X and XII board exams conducted by the TBSE and CBSE.

Dr Saha said that the government has given priority to the development of education in all areas, from villages to cities.

He said this while addressing a felicitation ceremony held at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan, organized by the School Education Department.

Dr Saha also honored schools that achieved 100% pass percentage in this year's Madhyamik and Higher Secondary exams under TBSE and CBSE (Vidyajyoti).

“The government is allocating funds for the development of educational infrastructure, other facilities, and new schemes. The Education Department is working to provide quality education to students. Along with this, the government has taken the initiative to establish an Education Hub and a Health Hub in Tripura,” he said.

Speaking at the program, Dr Saha said that through this initiative, a fair competition will be established among schools in the future. Representatives of all the schools that have achieved 100% success participated in today’s program.

“Other schools will also be inspired by this. The responsibility for the good or bad results of students in schools lies with the teachers. Now the government has given importance to the appointment of quality teachers. Teaching is a process where teachers also need proper training. For this, various policy guidelines have to be followed. The state government is recruiting quality teachers through TET and TRBT,” said Dr Saha.

The Chief Minister said quality education must be provided to students.

“Tripura is competing on various parameters at the all-India level. The future of our state depends on the next generation. The progress of the state in the future depends on them. Now Thinker Labs and Smart Classes have started in schools. Many reforms are being made in the field of education constantly. Technology has been integrated now. Artificial Intelligence has been added in various fields. Along with this, we have to come forward with innovative thinking. Those who have achieved 100% success today have no room for complacency because we have to move forward further,” he said.

Special Secretary of the Education Department Raval Hemendra Kumar, Director of Education N. C. Sharma, Director of SCERT L. Darlong, and other senior officials were present as distinguished guests on the occasion.
