Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced that a partnership between the Punjab government and Finland's University of Turku is leading to significant improvements in classroom teaching methods across Punjab, India. This initiative is part of the broader 'Sikhya Kranti' program, which aims to shift educational practices from traditional rote learning to more interactive and joyful methods. By May 2026, nearly 300 teachers will receive training through a structured train-the-trainers model, enhancing foundational learning in the state. Mann emphasized that the program is designed as a long-term institutional effort to embed child-centered and play-based learning, alongside inclusive teaching practices. Training sessions are being conducted in both Punjab and Finland, combining workshops, mentoring, and school visits to expose teachers to innovative classroom practices. The initiative has already shown promising results, with teachers reporting increased confidence in adopting new methods tailored to the local socio-cultural context. Continuous mentoring from Finnish experts will further support this transition, ensuring that global best practices are effectively integrated into Punjab's educational framework.
