Two days after Chandigarh Tribune highlighted the poor pass percentage of government schools in the CBSE Class X exams, the UT Education Department on Thursday issued orders to those teachers whose result was below 70 per cent to take remedial classes during summer vacations to improve their results.

The orders were issued by the District Education Officer (DEO), UT Education Department, to all the heads of the government schools. The directions were also issued to the school heads to personally monitor the performance of the teachers to make their teaching more effective.

In the order, it was mentioned that the order should be treated as ‘most urgent and time bound’.

Chandigarh Tribune had highlighted that Government Model Senior Secondary School (GMSSS), Sector 38 (West), Chandigarh, had a pass percentage of just 7.94 in Class X, which was the worst among government schools. There were 126 students in Class X and only 10 passed.

Similarly, other schools also put up poor show. Government Model High School (GMHS), Sector 22, Chandigarh, had 37 students in Class X, of whom just three have passed. The pass percentage was 8.11, implying that close to 92 per cent students could not pass. The school was the second worst among government schools in the Class X results.

Likewise, GMHS, Karsan, had close to 87 per cent students who flunked in Class X, the GMHS, Sector 11, had close to 85 per cent students who could not pass.
