Punjab government has directed all public sector colleges to hold mandatory parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) starting January 22 to enhance students’ academic performance. The decision, issued by the Directorate of Public Instruction (Colleges) Punjab, aims to engage parents in students’ learning and recognize top-performing students.
During these meetings, parents will be briefed on their children’s December test results, overall academic progress, and strategies for improvement. Students who achieve top positions will be awarded certificates, with college principals instructed to acknowledge their efforts.
A formal notification from DPI Colleges Punjab also requires colleges to submit photographic reports of PTMs and mandates attendance by directors, deputy directors, and designated focal persons. This initiative reflects the provincial government’s focus on accountability, parental involvement, and promoting a culture of academic excellence.
According to educational experts, regular PTMs not only help identify students’ strengths and weaknesses but also create a collaborative environment between teachers and parents, leading to better learning outcomes.
