Punjab has outperformed Delhi in the nationwide learning outcome levels survey for Classes III, V, VIII and X. The National Achievement Survey-2021 report places Punjab ahead of Delhi, although CM Bhagwant Mann had taken his Education Minister and teachers to the Capital to educate them on “better teaching environment”. The survey, held in November last, tested the students in various subjects and assessed their learning and performance, particularly during the pandemic, covering private and government schools. Punjab topped in 10 of the 15 categories. It scored 355 in language (Punjabi), 339 in Math and 334 in EVS, higher than the national average of 323, 306 and 307, respectively, for Class III. In Class 10, Punjab scored the highest in math (273) and were on the third spot in English.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
