In the light of the number of students going to school, Punjab Education Department decided on Friday to increase the grants of School Management Committees (SMC)’ for the educational institutions in the province.
The department is considering suggestions to improve the environment of schools with the help of the SMCs’ grants. The government releases funds of thousands of rupees for each school in the province which help school management committees to resolve their problems.
It was suggested on Friday to increase the SMCs’ grants according to the proportion of students. The suggestion is now being reviewed for implementation.
