The state government has announced that about 10,590 applicants out of more than 41,000 applicants have been successfully advertised for admission into the 12,000 seats of 80 government-run franchise schools in Jharkhand state.
On May 2, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Surin inaugurated 80 government schools of excellence, as part of the academic reform to provide quality English-medium education on par with private schools.
“In all, 10,590 students were declared successful against 11,936 seats available for admission into the Schools of Excellence (SoEs). A statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Secretariat on Monday said that 7,499 of them gained admission into classes one, six and nine.
More than 41,000 applications were received for admission in about 12,000 seats in 80 government-run franchise schools in Jharkhand, which was 345 percent higher than the total seats.
These 80 institutes are part of the government’s aim to provide quality education to 15 children studying in government schools including plans to establish 325 schools at block level and 4,091 model schools at panchayat level in the second phase.
In April, at least 10 students from the Kasturba Gandhi Palika Vidyalaya (KGBV) school in Khonti district, part of a government project to reduce gender disparities in rural areas and among disadvantaged communities, qualified for the JEE (Mains).
The 80 principals were trained online by the National Center for School Leadership in two phases.
The government earlier announced that students in the 80 Schools of Excellence will offer vocational training for 11 professions.
These include Agriculture, Information Technology, ITES, Apparel, Make-up and Home Furnishing, Media and Entertainment, Automotive, Tourism and Hospitality, Beauty and Wellness, Multi-Skills, Electronics and Appliances, Retail and Healthcare.
