"Despite all measures taken to improve infrastructure and facilities, people are reluctant to send their children to government schools. I urge the teaching community to play an active role in encouraging people to enroll their wards in state-run institutes," he said.
Khandu gave assurances that his government has plans to renovate dilapidated and shut-down buildings to address the infrastructure gap in schools.
He asked the departmental promotion committee (DPC) to analyse performances of teachers from time to time and grant promotions on "genuine" grounds.
