A dedicated chapter on Haryana's contribution to the freedom struggle of the country would be included in the history syllabus of classes V and VI in state government schools from this year.
"The chapter would include details regarding the contribution of all freedom fighters from Haryana starting fro 1857 till 1947," Ram Bilas Sharma, State Education Minister said here today.
He reiterated the state government's commitment towards honouring all great personalities and said efforts were being made to improve the quality of education.
"The state's decision to include moral education as a subject in primary schools was widely appreciated, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, praising the decision in their speeches at Kumbh Mela in Ujjain," he said.
Sharma said that for private schools in urban areas such as Gurgaon, it has been made mandatory to appoint a woman employee in the school buses, apart from the driver and conductor and arrangements are made to ensure that girl students reach home safely.
The Minister issued orders to suspend and file a chargesheet against the teacher accused of giving harsh punishment to a girl student in village Nidana of Jind district.
Regular inspection of schools by officers will be conducted after the upcoming summer vacations, he said.
