The CM has directed the school education department to draw an annual plan for upgrading infrastructure, and phase-wise introduction of internet facility in all the schools.
MUMBAI: Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday asked the state education department to prepare a road map on the improvement of school infrastructure in the coming years.
He was speaking at a meeting where he was given a presentation on 'Vision 2025', an official said. "Health and cleanliness should be a top priority for the department. Going by the increasing demand for vocational training, students from Classes 8 and above should get guidance for competitive examinations," he said.
