In a fillip to the cluster school initiative, district education officials have successfully identified and submitted 1,724 preliminary proposals/applications to the state education commissioner’s office for the establishment of cluster schools across the state. Following a thorough examination of the proposals and an assessment of their feasibility, these submissions will be forwarded to the state’s School Education and Sports Department by the commissioner’s office.
The move is driven by the need to enhance facilities for students in low-capacity schools, aligning with the new education policy’s goal of providing 18 types of amenities for quality education. These include laboratories, libraries, e-learning facilities, and more.
