“We had vacant posts of teachers for Mathematics and Science in some of these schools, due to which students suffered. Teachers were brought on deputation, but only for few months,” said Block Education Officer (BEO), Barwala, Sunita Nain.

Asserting that schools which were upgraded to secondary level, without providing necessary infrastructure have given poor results, BEO, Raipur Rani, Renu Sangwan said GSSS Rehna, where only five students out of 34 passed, was one such school. However, in GSSS Raipur Rani, which has adequate infrastructure, only 16 students out of 67 passed the examination.

In Morni Block, eight out of 46 passed in GSSS Tikkar Hills (Morni). Apart from the rural schools, those situated in Panchkula urban also showed low percentage. In GHS, Sector 19, only 34 out of 178 students passed the exam.

District Education Officer (DEO) Harminder Saini said that the department would analyse the results. It would be followed by inspection of the selected schools. “All factors will be examined, and performance of teachers will also be monitored. We are mulling to propose transfer of teachers who have not been performing. We will write to higher authorities to take action,” he said.

Poor performance in Class XII too

DESPITE adequate infrastructure and faculty, the Government Senior Secondary School (GSSS), Raipur Rani registered pass percentage of 23 in Class X, with only 16 out of 67 students qualifying. As highlighted in the report ‘A school too far’ in The Indian Express on May 23, the school had recorded below par performance in Class XII results too, as 170 out of 290 of school’s students could not pass. Students from a number of villages in Raipur Rani and those as far as Morni come to study in the school.
