The Himachal Pradesh government has decided to bring English and Mathematics along with Hindi from Class 1 to increase the learning standards in government schools, CM Virbhadra Singh said.

According to a report in Press Trust of India (PTI),  Chief Minister, Virbhadra Singh said, "The Himachal Pradesh government has decided to introduce English and Mathematics along with Hindi from Class 1 to improve learning standards in government schools."

"Such a step would go a long way towards raising the learning standards of students in government schools to bring them at par with the students of public schools. Education was his government's topmost priority and it had opened or upgraded 994 schools in the last three years besides starting 25 degree colleges in HP," he added.

He further included, "The government has also decided to fix responsibility among teachers for poor results and that would serve to ensure qualitative improvement in education. HP is a peaceful state where all sections of society live in harmony. Although the state has a majority Hindu population, other minorities live here with the same dignity and rights."

The government is making several plans to strengthen the education system in Himachal. There are over 10,000 primary schools, 1,000 secondary schools and more than 1,300 high schools. Currently more than 8,000 schools are affiliated with board. The Board sets up 1,650 examination centres for over 5,00,000 examinees every year.
