मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान का कहना है कि पंजाब को शिक्षा के एक प्रमुख केंद्र के रूप में विकसित किया जा रहा है। इसके लिए स्कूलों को बेहतर बनाने, धन उपलब्ध कराने और युवाओं के लिए करियर के नए रास्ते खोलने पर जोर दिया जा रहा है। लेकिन जब शिक्षक अपनी मांगों को लेकर सड़कों पर उतरते हैं, तो सरकार के दावों और शिक्षकों की चिंताओं के बीच का अंतर सामने आता है। क्या पंजाब शिक्षा का शीर्ष केंद्र बन सकता है, जब उसके शिक्षक अपनी मांगों को लेकर प्रदर्शन कर रहे हों ?
