Himachal improves school education levels under Sukhu govt, leaps to 5th place from 21st
Shimla, June 25 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh has made a significant leap in the field of school education, moving from the 21st position in 2021 to 5th place, in the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2025, also known as PARAKH 2025. The survey, conducted by NCERT for the academic year 2024-25, highlights remarkable improvement in learning outcomes under the present government. The state secured 2nd rank in Grade 3, 5th in Grade 6, and 4th in Grade 9 nationally. The progress marks a sharp turnaround from the previous NAS report, which ranked Himachal Pradesh much lower during the tenure of the previous BJP-led government. Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's government is attributing this success to education-focused reforms introduced over the past year. These include the merger of low-enrollment schools, rational deployment of teachers, fast-tracking recruitment for vacant posts, and establishing Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding Schools in a phased manner across all constituencies. Additionally, exposure visits for teachers and students to international educational institutions have helped improve teaching practices and broaden learning perspectives. Rajesh Sharma, State Project Director of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, termed the development a major achievement. He said an official announcement of the NAS 2025 rankings will be made in New Delhi on July 2, where he will represent the state. Sharma emphasised that the consistent reforms introduced by the current government have begun to yield tangible results. A government spokesperson added that the state's return to the top five reinforces Himachal Pradesh's growing image as a model for quality education. UNI ML RN
