Punjab's education sector in 2025 presented a mixed picture, marked by achievements alongside controversies. The ruling AAP's 'Sikhya Kranti' initiative, aimed at inaugurating numerous school projects, faced criticism from opposition parties and teachers' unions for alleged publicity stunts and diversion of resources. Concerns were raised about teachers being burdened with non-academic duties and the cost of promotional plaques. Despite efforts like promoting teachers and transforming schools into 'Schools of Eminence,' a significant shortage of principals and lecturers persists, impacting school functioning.
