The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has announced that Punjab has secured the top position in the NITI Aayog Education Quality Report 2026, a significant turnaround from its previous low rankings. The AAP described this achievement as a 'victory of millions of Punjabi families,' highlighting the transformation of the educational landscape in the state. Punjab's students demonstrated remarkable proficiency, achieving 82% in Grade 3 language learning and 52% in Grade 9 mathematics, outperforming Kerala in both categories. The government has invested in infrastructure, with over 80% of schools now equipped with smart classrooms and nearly all having electricity. The AAP also emphasized the recruitment of over 13,000 new teachers and the establishment of 118 Schools of Eminence, aiming to provide students with world-class education. This progress is attributed to the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and a commitment to improving public education, contrasting sharply with the situation in neighboring Haryana, which has seen little educational advancement despite long-term governance.
