New School Chandigarh being the Head-quarters of the neighbouring two States of Punjab and Haryana and of the Regional Offices of the Central Government and established Business concerns, it is expanding rapidly in all spheres. New Sectors are developing fast. This development has led to the opening and upgrading of new schools in Chandigarh during the last 23 years. In the year 1978-79 in Rural Areas, seven primary schools were upgraded to the middle standard and one middle school was upgraded to the high standard. in the urban areas are a Model Primary school in Sector-31 exclusively for the Children of Army personnel and 3 primary schools in Sector 34, 47, and 37.

It is expected that by the end of 1978-79, all these buildings shall be handed over to the Education Department.
Incentive for Children of weaker sections of Society
(i) Attendance Scholarships During the year 1978-79, attendance scholarships to girl students have been increased from 500 to 1000 and a sum of Rs. 4800 has been earmarked.
(ii) Mid-day meals Under the Mid-day Meals programme, children upto class V have been covered from all rural and labour colonies and class I to IV in Urban Government School and from Nursery to Class II in recognised schools. The number of beneficiaries has, increased from 14500 to 20500 approximately.

Curriculum Improvement (i) An Uniform pattern of education which was introduced in class IX during 1976-77 was extended to class X during 1977-78. Since the neighbouring States of Punjab and Haryana had not switched over to the new pattern of education, the starting of class XI under 10+2 pattern in Union Territory Schools was deferred during 1978-79. To solve this problem, class XI (Pre-University) has been opened in all the existing Higher Secondary Schools. The Punjab University, Chandigarh shall be conducting the examinations of the XIth class students alongwith Pre-University classes attached to colleges.
