The Education Department has linked this expansion with ongoing initiatives such as Mission Admission and Mission Merit, aimed at improving enrollment and academic performance. Efforts to strengthen foundational learning are further supported by programs like ‘Mathematics Thursday,’ designed to increase student engagement in mathematics and science.

Officials believe that introducing pre-primary education within CBSE municipal schools will improve early childhood learning outcomes and create a stronger academic base for students, while also encouraging greater participation in the public education system.
