Education Minister exhorts private institutes to take part in National Assessment Survey

Education Minister Rohit Thakur has said the National Assessment Survey is set to be conducted by the

Government of India in the first week of December to assess the quality and progress of education in different states.

He was addressing the crowd during the 19th annual prize distribution function of Glory International Public School (Rohru) on Sunday, where he was present as the chief guest.

He said since around 40 per cent of the state’s students were studying in private institutions, these institutes, along with government schools, should participate in the survey.

The state government was making serious efforts to prepare children for the survey by having mock tests in all government schools.

The state had not performed well in the last National Assessment Survey.

Thakur said since the establishment of Himachal Pradesh, it had made massive progress in the field of education. “Today, the state is counted among the most literate states of the country, and we will have to make better efforts for the coming times,” he added.
