Uttarakhand schools are the pride of the entire nation. The mountain towns like Dehradun and Mussorie have some of the best public schools not only of India, but in the world. Apart from the elite public
schools of Uttarakhand, there are a number of government schools that are spread all over the state.
Public Schools of Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand schools comprise some of the most prestigious public schools in India. Students from all over India gather in these schools for quality education. There are both co-educational school and schools exclusively for boys and girls, with day scholars and boarders in their ranks. Doon School, Welham Boys and Girls schools, Cambrian Hall and St. Joseph's are some of the best schools of Dehradoon. Mussorie has the prestigious Oak Grove school and the Convent of Jesus and Mary. The mountain towns of Almora, Nainital and Ranikhet also have some extremely coveted public schools and convents. Most of these schools follow the ICSE or the CBSE system of education and examination.
One of the greatest additions to the public
schools in Uttarakhand are the military schools. If the Indian Rashtriya Military School (IRMS) is one of the best of its kind in the world, then the Sainik of Ghorakhal in the Nainital district is also equally prestigious.
Government Schools of Uttarakhand
The government schools play a very important role in the Uttarakhand school education system. They are affiliated to the Uttarakhand board of school educations and examination, under the direct supervision of the Directorate of the School Education. Uttarakhand government has taken various important steps for the spread of education in the state, like the introduction of the mid-day meals and the implementation of computer education at a very early stage in most
schools at Uttarakhand. Most Uttarakhand schools as well as the state have many scholarships and awards in place to encourage and facilitate the poor and meritorious students of the state.
