In conjunction with this, the Punjab government is set to launch English-spoken classes in public schools, likely starting in October. The School Education Department has completed its preparations, and the first phase of these classes will be rolled out in high schools.
As part of this initiative, commissioners, deputy commissioners, and assistant commissioners will visit schools regularly to assess the progress of the English-speaking classes. They will engage with students in English to evaluate their speaking skills and ensure they are developing self-confidence.
