Gujarat's education minister announced that the government will expedite the clearance of pending issues faced by grant‑in‑aid schools across the state. The statement was made during a recent interaction with school administrators and officials.
Grant‑in‑aid schools, which receive financial assistance from the state while being managed privately, have reported delays in fund disbursement, infrastructure upgrades, and staff appointments. These bottlenecks have affected the quality of education in several rural and semi‑urban areas.
The minister assured that a dedicated task force will be set up to review each case and that resolutions will be delivered at the earliest, aiming to restore smooth operations before the upcoming academic session. He emphasized that the government remains committed to supporting these schools, which play a crucial role in expanding access to education.
