Punjab made y
ear 2009 the year of educational reforms. It is really funny because educational reforms, if and when they happen, would come after financial reforms. Though we got the order wrong, at least we have the reform mindset going and people acknowledge that reforms are essential for feeding a billion strong nation. Reforms mean different things to different people. When it comes to education it is not as simple as finance. In finance, if you allow 74% foreign direct investment in, let’s say, insurance sector then that is a reform. If you allow 100% then you are a rock star reformist and darling of the stock market. Educational reforms are slightly different. In fact, they are radically different. Educational reforms could as well be having more qualified teachers in a school or having any teachers at all. It might be increasing the number of teachers to have a better teacher student ratio. In the case of Punjab it is having parent teacher association and having meeting with parents once in a month. That’s a good start, as it is missing apparently. All students would be properly informed in advance two days before PTA meeting and parents would be provided monthly progress report cards and the daily signed.
