In a Facebook post, Kerala’s Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that Kerala’s performance in the PGI was a result of the State Government’s efforts to raise the bar for educational standards in schools to an international level. Since the Central Government initially implemented the system in 2017–18, he claimed, Kerala’s performance in the PGI has consistently improved.
He hoped that the State’s efforts to become a knowledge society would be aided by the PGI score.
The Public Education Rejuvenation Mission of the State government received national recognition, according to Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty, thanks to the rating. Additionally, the State had been able to advance further than it did the previous year.
The Left Democratic Front government’s Public Education Rejuvenation Mission, one of its initiatives for building a Nava Keralam, had fundamentally altered public schools in the State. It has resulted in advancements in academic performance in addition to improvements in basic infrastructure.
The Minister expressed his gratitude to the parents who supported their children, the teachers who helped the pupils continue their education in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the General Education Department officials, and the non-teaching staff for the honor.
