Imparting quality education to students and world-class training for teachers is one of the hallmarks of the AAP government. Like Delhi, similar practices will be implemented in Punjab and this is what the Punjab CM was referring to.
Mann said that similar to Delhi, Punjab will send their teachers to pursue training abroad.
“Just like the Delhi government, principals, vice-principals, and headmasters will be sent abroad for training. The educators will be sent in batches of 70-100 to Switzerland, Finland, Singapore, and top universities such as Oxford and ‘Hayward’ for professional training at the cost of the government”, Mann was heard saying.
Meme fest, users equate it to Haywards 5000
As Bhagwant Mann mispronounced Harward as Haywards, it left the social media delighted & overjoyed. Lot many users noted his gaffe and poked fun at the CM.
Many said that it was actually Haywards but Haywards 5000. Haywards 5000 is a famous beer brand in India.

If so many teachers (100’s) have to be sent for training, why not ask, swiss, Singapore or Haywards professors to come to India and train them?
After all, 1 person travelling to India is a lot cheaper than 100’s travelling out of India. @BhagwantMann

Bhagwant Mann has been in the news previously, for alleged alcoholism. Last month, the Shriomani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) had alleged that Bhagwant Mann had entered a famous Sikh shrine in an inebriated condition.
