Students of the private schools will also be required to eat the mid-day meal at the government schools when they visit the school for one day under the new scheme which is named as ‘twinning of schools’ program. Under the program, 10 students from the middle classes i.e. 6th, 7th and 8th classes will spend one day at each other’s school and will share the best practices of their respective schools. The scheme will be implemented across the state and notification regarding the same has been issued by the Director General of school education, Mohammad Tayyab. Besides sharing and learning from each other, students will also be able to discuss their areas of interests such as local craft, art and music, and the festivals.
