Today, the toughest task is making children future-ready, and our teachers are fulfilling this responsibility with commitment, hard work and passion. Both private and Government schools share the duty to address new challenges in education, while parents play a crucial role in guiding and supporting their children. Over the past year, the Government has worked to revamp the education system in J&K, and private institutions must align with these efforts to ensure quality learning.”
