Not private, these government schools in Ahmedabad are the first choice of parents: From smart classrooms to AI facilities, 56 thousand people, including the son of an IT engineer, got admission in AMC's smart school

There was a time when students from government schools used to go to private schools, but now the scenario in Ahmedabad is changing completely. Now thousands of students are leaving private schools and enrolling in AMC's smart schools. This year (2026-27), more than 3,500 students have left the private and taken admission in AMC's school, while in the last 10 years, this number has crossed 56,000. The most interesting thing is that now not only the middle class, but also parents working in IT companies are choosing government schools for their children. Facilities including smart classrooms, digital learning, modern labs Ahmedabad is witnessing a quiet but important revolution in the field of education. For years, private schools were considered a symbol of quality education, but now municipal corporation schools have won the trust of the people through their performance. As a result, parents are leaving private schools and enrolling their children in government schools. There was a time when only the children of economically weaker sections were considered to study in government schools, but now even highly educated and well-to-do families are getting their children admitted to corporation schools. The quality of education in AMC's schools has improved significantly due to smart classrooms, digital learning, English medium schools, modern labs, sports facilities, trained teachers, and various activities. People turn to AMC schools for quality and free education On the other hand, the fees of private schools are continuously increasing. Due to rising inflation, parents are unable to pay high fees. Also, despite charging expensive fees, children are not given adequate education. Also, even after paying the fees, the financial burden on the parents has increased due to books, uniforms and other expenses. Due to this, many parents are now turning to AMC schools for quality and free education. So even parents working in IT companies and with good income are choosing government schools not only for low fees, but also for the quality of education and overall development of children. Waiting for admission in schools including Thaltej, Bodakdev Also, a total of 31,000 students have taken admission in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation schools this year. This figure is also much higher than last year. As well as waiting for admission in schools including Thaltej and Bodakdev. Since children are being educated with modern facilities in the schools of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, even the parents working in a good company are getting their children admitted to the corporation's school instead of private.

'Education in the private sector did not look good and the cost was also very high' Ektaben Rabari, a parent, said, "Earlier, my son used to study in a private school in Ranip. He studied in a private school in Ranip for three years. But his education did not go well and the expenses were also very high. Things like uniforms and books had to be brought from outside, and as a result, their expenses were very high. 'Seeing the facilities, I got admission from a private school to a government school' In addition, Ektaben Rabari said that education is being imparted through smart boards in Anupam Primary School. The facilities of the teachers and the school are looking very good. I also get a scholarship which will buy my son's uniform. The fee for a private school was Rs 15,000. If we add other expenses to this, it used to cost around 20,000 rupees. On the other hand, admission in a government school saves Rs 20,000 directly. Computer classes, library and sports equipment are also provided to the students. So seeing all the facilities, I got admission from a private school to a government school. 'Despite being a government school, special attention is given to the children' Ashish Prajapati, who works as an engineer in the IT sector, said, "I do a private job in IT infrastructure. My son used to study in a private school and now he is enrolled in a government school. There is a huge difference between private school education and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation school. AMC has made smart schools very good. Despite being a government school, special attention is given to children. 'Google Future Classes Teach Students' In addition, Ashish Prajapati said that children are given free books and scholarships. Also, children are given separate scholarships for further studies after class 8. Despite being a government school, students are taught through Google Future Class.
