BOARD SECY BLAMES GOVT POLICY
Board secretary Rajiv Prasad said the Class-10 students performed poorly as compared to Class-12 students in Mathematics, English and Hindi because the government had made it mandatory to pass all students till Class-8.
“Now, the state government has decided to conduct Class-8 board exams after a long gap. I am sure that the Class 10 results will be better in the coming years. The board is an autonomous that evaluates the performance of students and by restarting Class-8 board exams, weak students will be filtered. Many students did not take studies seriously till Class 8 as they knew they will be passed,” he added.
Government Senior Secondary School mathematics lecturer Naveen Soni of Bhiwani’s Gurera also blamed the non–detention policy for students’ dismal performance. .

Many students take advantage of such rules. The Class-12 students are more focused towards their target as compared to Class-10 students,” he said.
Soni further said that teachers need to access the most scoring portions of syllabus instead of blindly teaching everything.
